Joining the Army Reserves

Are you thinking about joining the ADF, but already have a job, or are studying? You can join the army reserves.

Being a reserve means you only work part-time in the army, navy or air force, while still receiving training and benefits. You get to choose how many days you serve per year, giving you the flexibility to fit in other commitments.

There are heaps of roles you can work in, including combat roles, STEM, business, trades, medical and health, and much more.

To join, all you need is to be 17 years of age and meet the minimum fitness requirements.

The army reserves is a great way to gain life-long skills and experience.
