    Your Role:

    If you're looking for new challenges and adventure outside the everyday, then the Army Reserve has an exciting opportunity for you.

    As a part-time Infantry Soldier, you'll be in the thick of the action. You'll get paid to train with weapons, learn combat tactics and keep fit, all while working as part of a close-knit team.

    In this flexible role you'll master a variety of skills including the handling of advanced weaponry such as rifles, machine guns, grenades and anti-armour weapons. You'll also learn vital survival tactics regardless of the season, weather or terrain.

    This is a great chance to enjoy adventure, make close friendships and receive tax-free pay, all without giving up your current lifestyle. Just give as little as one night a week, one weekend a month or a few weeks a year – and you'll get a world of new experiences back.

    Get Paid:

    The pay you receive in the Army Reserve goes straight into your pocket with no deductions for tax, and it increases as you gain seniority and experience.

    On completion of your initial military and employment training, you could earn a package worth at least $187.11/day tax-free.

    Additional amounts are paid for time spent on exercises and deployments.

    Life in the Army Reserve:

    Thousands of men and women enjoy part-time roles with the Army Reserve, operating alongside full-time Army personnel. The only difference is that your commitment is flexible.

    Initial training length will vary based on your chosen role, after which you will normally be expected to serve between 20 and 70 days per year. This could involve one night a week, one weekend a month or a few weeks a year.

    We do our best to make sure this fits in with your work and family commitments; and deployments are voluntary so if you choose to stay local, there are plenty of ways to make a difference closer to home. And with no minimum period of service, you can leave the Army Reserve whenever you like.

    Apply Now:

    For this role, you must be over 17 at time of enlistment and have completed an Australian Year 10 education (or equivalent) with passes in English and Mathematics.
