Training and skills
An ADF Gap Year is an exciting opportunity to experience life in the ADF without making a long-term commitment. Your 12-month experience is divided up into stages. First, you'll travel to a dedicated training facility to learn the military and job-specific skills you need. Then you'll post to a unit to apply your newly learned skills as you are immersed in a team environment on base and on exercises.
With paid training, you'll gain all the skills you need to make the most out of your Gap Year. Plus, you'll be supported by professional and enthusiastic Air Force personnel who'll guide you to develop the skills you need. You'll continue to receive training as part of your Gap Year to ensure you learn a range of skills that will benefit you, wherever your career takes you.
Progression
After finishing your Gap Year program, you can choose to continue your full-time career in the Air Force or change to a part-time role in the Air Force Reserve.
There is no obligation to serve in the ADF beyond the 12-month Gap Year program period. You can take your new skills and experiences to gain an edge in future careers outside the ADF.
