SUBSTANTIAL
programs aimed at both attracting and retaining skilled people
in the ADF are to be extended with an additional $21.4 million
in the 2004-05 Budget.
The funds will be used to build on the current $100 million a
year provided for programs aimed at improving the conditions of
ADF members and their families.
The new funding will pay for the continuation of a targeted program
of family focused initiatives, which had been due to end in 2005-06,
such as child care places, ADF spouse support and Defence school
transition aides.
