Appearance
Can I have tattoos and/or body piercings?
Tattoos are acceptable as long as they're not visible in a passport photo: not on your face or front of neck, or visible when wearing a T-shirt. Minimal tattoos for cosmetic purposes are accepted, as are earrings for women (one per ear lobe) in accordance with ADF dress regulations. Any tattoo or brand considered offensive, intimidating or which does not align with the values of the ADF will not be accepted.
If you have tattoos for cultural or religious reasons, check with your ADF Careers Advisor as exceptions can be made.
