Important Notice – COVID-19
Defence is currently undertaking planning for activities to re-commence in 2021. As placements are planned and confirmed, they will be advertised through the “Placements” tab. We encourage you to check our website regularly.
A body of work has been completed to ensure that future placements are planned with participant and Defence personnel safety in mind. For more information on Defence’s response to COVID-19 visit the Defence COVID-19 website for the most updated information.
The Defence Work Experience Program provides young Australians with an interest in a Defence career the opportunity to gain exposure to a range of job roles available within the Australian Defence Force and Australian Public Service. Defence Work Experience activities are designed to be hands on and interactive so that young people can make informed career decisions.

Volunteers in action!
Defence is looking for adult volunteers to lead and inspire young people as part of the Navy, Army and Air Force Cadets. ADF Cadets is Defence’s leading youth development program, supporting 13 to 18 year-olds through activities that help them thrive in a team environment, improve communication skills, and become responsible members of the local community.
