Are my details safe when I apply online?

The online application form uses SSL Encryption for securing data transfer. There are some non-secure components that are used for the design and layout of the portal, which are necessary from an infrastructure perspective. All of your personal data is protected with the secure encryption and will not be used for any purpose other than processing your application or for receiving DefenceJobs specific email (only if you provide consent). Please refer to our Copyright & Privacy page for more information.

Can I apply online?

Yes. Visit the Recruitment Centre to complete an online application form and fill out the application form at your leisure.

Can I email my resume to DFR as my application?

You will need to apply online via the Recruitment Centre or call 13 19 01 and provide details about yourself and your experience in order to apply for a career in the Navy, Army or Air Force. DFR require specific information that may not be contained within resume documents. The final step in the online application process is to book a YOU session within the online application form. After you have completed this, a Defence Recruiter should call you back in the timeframe specified.
