The Army Reserve might be for you. With the global situation changing almost daily, medical professionals are more important than ever. And that's where you come in. We need Public Health Physicians to provide advice on disease and illness prevention, and promote the health needs of our people and their families. You will offer health services, as well as conduct public health research for the Defence Force. Your breadth of advice will range from informing current serving military members to people within communities that the Defence Force supports. In this role you could work locally at a base near you, or you could have the opportunity to travel within Australia or overseas. Wherever you go, you will be surrounded by a team of trained professionals all working towards a common goal. This is a great opportunity for someone looking for the chance to make a difference and give back to their country and community. You will not only gain new skills that you can take to your full-time role, but work in a unique environment with new challenges. Boost your income The pay you receive in the Army Reserve goes straight into your pocket with no deductions for tax, and it increases as you gain seniority and experience. On completion of initial military training and initial employment training you could earn a package worth at least $762/day tax free. Additional amounts are paid for time spent on exercises and deployments. Life in the Army Reserve Thousands of men and women enjoy part-time roles with the Army Reserve, operating alongside full-time Army personnel. The only difference is that your commitment is flexible. Initial training length will vary based on your chosen role, after which you will normally be expected to serve between 10 and 20 days per year, with the scope to serve more days if they are available. This could involve one night a week, one weekend a month or a few weeks a year. We do our best to make sure this fits in with your work and family commitments; and deployments are voluntary so if you choose to stay local, there are plenty of ways to make a difference closer to home.
