PREPARE FOR KAPOOKABefore commencing training at ARTC you need to be medically and physically fit. A psychologist and a doctor will assess you at your recruiting centre. If you are in doubt about anything that might affect your training, you should discuss your concern with the enlistment officer, doctor or psychologist. Failure to disclose an existing injury or medical condition will result in your removal from training and discharge from the Australian Army.
Prior to arrival at Kapooka you will also need to organise your personal administration, such as ensuring finances and business dealings are in order, and resolving any family or other personal concerns. Once training commences at Kapooka, you will have limited time to organise home life.
