Defence Force Work Experience Opportunities


Vacancies that still exist for Defence Work Experience between now and the end of the school year.  If you  are considering a Defence career, here are some final opportunities for 2013 work experience:

Army Careers Visit - Lavarack Barracks - 6th November

Military Police - Lavarack Barracks - 4 - 8 November (2 positions available)

Applications via the DWEP website, link below:


Air Traffic Control (JBAC) - RAAF Base Townsville - 4 - 6 November (1 position available)

This placement is no longer on the website,  but if you are interested, please visit the Guidance Officer.
Note that students will have to address Selection Criteria (via email with ADF) for this placement.

Plant Operator - 3rd Combat Engineer Regt - Lavarack Barracks - 4 - 8 November (1 position available)

While there is some focus on the Plant Operator role, the unit hosts 10 students in different job areas on this placement, but brings them together for the majority of the placement to participate in activities and demonstrations relevant to the regiment as a whole.  So any students interested in trades or combat engineer roles would still get something out of applying for this particular placement.

This placement is no longer on the website, but if you are interested, please visit the Guidance Officer.

Navy Overview - HMAS Cairns - 18 - 21 November (5 positions available)

Applications via the DWEP website, link below:


Note that any out of area students would need to organise their own travel to and accommodation in Cairns for this placement.
