How much you earn as a trainee depends on what stage you’re at and which scheme you are studying under.

Your pay will increase as you gain more experience and as you move up the ranks. Your total pay amount will be made up of a Base Salary plus several allowances that the Air Force offers its members.
Depending on your employment stream and avenue of entry into the Air Force, you can expect to earn a minimum of $63,711 per year plus applicable allowances.
On completion of employment training, you could expect to earn between $54,328 and $60,168 per year plus applicable allowances.
Your salary will continue to increase based on competency level, rank and years of service. Or alternatively, gaining additional skills and undertaking further study may place you in a higher pay group. This means that you would move to another pay scale where, due to your skills and training, you would receive a higher pay rate regardless of your rank and years of service.
A Service Allowance of $12,128 per year is paid in recognition of the unique working environments you’ll be working in. To help you maintain your uniforms, we will give you a Uniform Allowance ranging from $419 to $682 per year depending on your rank.
Overseas deployments, participation in peacekeeping missions and contributions to efforts to protect Australia’s offshore maritime areas could all earn you extra bonuses on top of your salary.
