Recruiting
Australia's part-time soldiers are an important element of our defence. There are more than 250 Army Reserve units based in the cities and towns throughout Australia. The Australian Army Reserve, together with the Australian Regular Army, forms one of the largest and diverse organisations in Australia. For those people who cannot provide full-time service in the Army, the Army Reserve provides an excellent opportunity to learn new skills, while receiving tax-free pay and allowances.
Employers also understand that the Army Reserve plays a vital role in our national defence. Army Reserve pay is also tax free and does not affect Austudy or Social Security payments.
