• You'll have empathy in abundance and have the ability to understand defence-related illnesses and conditions
• Be able to establish and build meaningful relationships internally and externally
• You will have highly developed communication skills and the ability to prioritise, manage and problem solve procedures

• Not-for-profit tax benefits - salary packaging of up to $15,900 per year. This allows you to reduce your taxable income by receiving part of your salary as tax-free benefits like super contributions, car leasing, and more.
• Staff discounts across 700 select retail stores through Maxxia Rewards
• Fitness Passport
• Leave Loading - 17.5% pay top up on paid leave
• Plus you'll be joining a team that are truly dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of veterans and their families

Our commitment to diversity:

We are proud to stand for our unique values: Do the Right Thing, Aim Higher, Care from the Heart, and Act as One team.

We welcome and encourage applications from people across our diverse community, especially from Veterans, current serving ADF personnel, their families and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants.

We believe everyone has the right to feel safe, respected, valued and heard regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or disability.
