Defence supports employees to maintain their physical, mental and emotional health throughout their careers.

Depending on location and circumstances, Australian Public Service employees may have access to:

  • Confidential wellbeing support through an employee assistance program available to employees and their immediate families.
  • Support for physical health through free annual flu vaccinations.
  • Opportunities to stay active with free access to Defence gyms at many Defence locations.

These services are designed to support employee health, wellbeing and resilience, at work, at home and beyond.
