A BIG RESPONSIBILITY
If you think you’ve got what it takes to work with some of the most sophisticated technology in the world, why not do it in the company of the best?
In Communications, IT and Intelligence you’re not only responsible for the Army’s communication and information requirements around the world.
You’re at the front line of safety and security back home too. From relaying orders and pinpointing enemy positions, to handling highly classified
material, this is a critical job. One the Army depends on to meet its objectives.

Variety of roles
From field based positions to headquarters jobs, the Army offers a huge variety of roles in Communications, IT and Intelligence. Whether you're a Signal
Corps officer, a Telecommunications Technician or an Intelligence Expert, one thing remains the same. In the Army, you'll be able to take your career
to the highest level, working alongside some of the most talented, driven people in Australia.
Mentally challenging roles
The technology used by the Army represents the cutting edge of what is available today. As a professional in Communications and IT, you'll be working
with hi tech solutions and software, and passing that knowledge on to other soldiers and officers. That’s why, when you join the Army, you’ll
be pushing yourself to the limit mentally - as well as physically.
Unique experiences
Teaching or working on communication systems in the Army is a little different from the usual 9 to 5 routine. The Army is a constantly changing career,
and you’ll get the chance to do things that many people only dream of. Adventure, travel, new experiences – it’s all part and parcel
of a career with the ADF. Best of all, you’ll get to be part of something bigger, using your skills and knowledge to help people.
