Entry
Qualified
Other Ranks (Non Technical) (Reserve)
As a trained member of the Active Naval Reserve, you are obligated to serve a minimum of 20 days per year but you may work up to 200 days per financial year in approved positions.
Unlike the Army and Air Force that set aside specific days for meeting minimum attendance requirement, in the Navy you will have to seek employment in either Funded Reserve Commitment positions, Project work or Permanent Navy vacancies. This means that you will effectively contribute to Navy capability rather than just parading. You will be assisted to find work by either your category sponsor or through advertising material provided to Reserves on a weekly basis.
Reserve personnel may volunteer for a period of full-time service with the Permanent Navy, provided the member's services are required.
Further information on part-time ADF careers can be found by accessing the Defence Reserves website.
The Defence Reserves Support Council also promotes the benefits of Reserve service by establishing partnerships with the community and employers.
