Entry

Officer (Reserve)

The effectiveness of military investigations relies on selecting the most suitable applicants; therefore, competition for places is strong and the application processes rigorous. Not only will your future be enhanced by joining a team of highly trained and motivated specialists investigating some of the most serious and high profile defence related issues, your professional capability will also be enhanced knowing that you have met the stringent application criteria for an ADF Investigator.

Specialist Service Officer

If you are already a sworn police officer who has successfully completed the relevant training and has the relevant experience, or you have a minimum of a Diploma of Investigation, or you have qualifications in relevant investigative fields, and are looking for a job that offers satisfaction, excitement and a challenge, then you may wish to consider a career as a Specialist Service Officer in the Australian Army Reserve.

Specialist Service Officers are enlisted direct to their unit and are required to complete the Specialist Service Officer First Appointment Course (SSO FAC) which is described in the Military Training section.

Further information on part-time ADF careers can be found by accessing the Defence Reserves Support Council website.

The Council promotes the benefits of Reserve service by establishing partnerships with the community and employers.
