Spend an exciting 12 months in the Navy, Army or Air Force, where you’ll get paid for meaningful work while gaining skills for life and making lifelong friends.

If you’re 17-24 years old and interested in experiencing the Navy, Army or Air Force without making a long-term commitment, an ADF Gap Year is a great option.

What an ADF Gap Year is like:

  • start with Initial Military Training (IMT) where you learn the fundamentals
  • complete training courses in your chosen role
  • take part in a variety of domestic exercises and operations
  • gain valuable work and life experience
  • make friends to last a lifetime
  • make a decision on your future in the ADF.
