The purpose of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) overseas recruitment program is to address capability shortfalls within the Navy that cannot be solved using Australian personnel.
The program is aimed at serving or recent ex-serving foreign military personnel, with specific qualifications and / or experience, that are directly transferrable to the Navy with very limited extra training.
