Medical & Fitness Requirements
To be enlisted or appointed, you must be medically and physically fit for entry to your chosen occupation. This is partially assessed from the completion of an extensive questionnaire covering your medical history, followed by a physical examination.
You will also be required to successfully pass a physical fitness test before enlistment.
For further details on medical and physical standards refer to 'Physical Fitness Standards for Entry into the ADF' and 'Medical Process for Entry into the ADF'.
Physical fitness is very important for Ground Defence Officers and they are required to maintain a higher fitness level than most members of the RAAF. This is to ensure that a Ground Defence Officer can cope with the physically demanding conditions often encountered in the nature of his duties.
