Working in one of Australia’s largest logistics organisations, you’ll build skills to provide administration advice, deliver payroll services and more in a range of new and exciting environments.

Throughout your Gap Year program, you will be supported by professional and dedicated Army personnel, who will provide the guidance necessary for you to get the most out of this experience.

Your training will begin at Kapooka in Wagga Wagga, NSW, where you’ll complete 12 weeks of recruit training. Training will involve physical training, weapon handling and shooting, first aid, drill and field craft. It’s challenging, but it will prepare you for anything.

Once you complete your Initial Military Training you’ll begin your Initial Employment Training in Bandiana, VIC where you’ll learn the skills of an Administration Assistant. Then you’ll be posted to one of the many Army bases across Australia. You could be posted to any unit and you may be called upon to use your skills in barracks, on exercises or in support of domestic operation. While your surroundings may change, your job role remains consistent and is essential to the effective operation of the Army.

So, what happens next? After finishing your Gap Year program, you can choose to continue your career in the Army, or use the skills and experiences to gain an edge in future careers. There’s no obligation to serve beyond the one-year program period.
