The Army Reserve is not just about unforgettable experiences. You'll also enjoy a range of benefits you won't find anywhere else.

TAX-FREE PAY

All Army Reservists receive tax-free pay. Put simply, it's income that goes straight in your pocket and won't affect any Government allowances you may be getting. You'll get paid during initial training, and whenever you're required for training, deployments or assistance missions. It's a great way to put yourself ahead financially.

MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE

Choose to go on deployment or an assistance mission and you'll get to travel around Australia and overseas. You might help to keep the peace abroad, take part in training exercises in Hawaii, or rebuild communities in places like flood-ravaged Queensland. If you choose to stay local, there are plenty of ways to make a difference in your own area too.

LEARN NEW SKILLS

The expert training you will receive in the Army Reserve is unparalleled. You'll train with the latest equipment, and develop skills in leadership, communication, problem solving, and physical fitness — real skills that you can use every day in your civilian life.

MATES FOR LIFE

Mateship and the Army go hand-in-hand. You'll go through a lot with your fellow officers and soldiers, so it's no wonder people form strong friendships in the Army Reserve. Most Reservists say it's one of the best things about their overall experience.

WE'LL COVER YOUR DAY JOB

The Army Reserve works with employers, too. Not only could your employer be eligible for a subsidy from the Army to compensate for your absence, they gain a well-rounded and motivated employee, with skills that give their business an edge. If you or your employer have any questions, just ask.

LOVE SPORTS? YOU'LL LOVE THE ARMY

In the Army Reserve, you'll be encouraged to stay fit with plenty of physical activity, military training and virtually any sport you can think of. During training, you'll work with qualified Army Physical Training Instructors to increase your core strength, cardio and endurance levels, at a pace that's challenging yet achievable. Think of it as the ultimate work out, without the costly gym memberships!

OTHER THINGS YOU'LL LOVE

You'll be well looked after in the Army Reserve. There's free food and accommodation whenever you're out training, and if you need to travel to attend initial training, those expenses are covered too. Your uniform and the equipment you use is also provided free of charge. As you'll discover, life is good as a Reservist.
