When it comes to travel opportunities, the Air Force doesn't fail to deliver. Our personnel have visited many destinations – more places than most people will see in a lifetime. And it's not just senior staff. Those who have only been in the Air Force for a year or two have also experienced the sights and sounds of numerous places, in Australia and abroad.

Deployment

Being involved in operational deployments, such as disaster relief operations, is one of the many ways you might get to travel internationally.

Humanitarian work

Another way you could see the world is through involvement with Humanitarian work. You get the opportunity to immerse yourself in cultures completely different to your own, as you set about helping others to rebuild their lives.

Work in some of the best places in Australia

You might get posted to one of our many Air Force bases that are located right around Australia. From Point Cook to Pearce to Tindal and everywhere in-between.

Time off and away

Apart from the Basic Annual Leave Entitlement of four weeks per year, you may also be entitled to five extra days recreational leave to compensate for any additional time spent carrying out official duties, after hours or on weekends. You will also accrue long service leave.

Home calling

We know the difficulties of being separated from your loved ones. We provide lots of opportunities to visit them while you're in the Service.

If you're single, paid Recreation Leave Travel allows you to visit your parents. If you're married with children, Reunion Travel enables you to arrange visits with your spouse and kids, if you are separated from them while on duty.

If a family member is ill or there has been a death in the family, you can apply for Compassionate Travel. This kind of travel may also be granted in other exceptional circumstances.
