Tax free pay and a flexible working arrangement means this really is a second job worth having. And you can take the skills you gain in training back into the civilian world.
Army Reserve salaries and allowances are all tax free and don't effect Centrelink payments. This is a significant benefit as in most other industries you would be taxed for your second job and lose a big part of that salary. Reservists are paid for each day attended, which is six hours or more, or half a day's pay for between three and six hours.
The most significant benefit is the flexibility of your hours, the fact that you can usually organise time off so you don't miss any important family or social events. We know how important this is to all our reservists.
You receive free accommodation and meals whenever you are out training or completing exercises. Your uniform and equipment are free which includes cooking equipment, wet weather gear, a sleeping bag and backpack. Any travel undertaken for initial or employment training is paid for. After a period of service you will also become eligible for assistance in paying for your home by means of a subsidy towards your mortgage.
Induction and most basic employment courses conducted by the Army Reserve have National accreditation, so you will gain skills and qualifications that you can use outside of the Army. In fact the expertise you gain from working for us will make you highly employable in the civilian world.
