Why join the Army Reserve?
If you're looking for a new challenge, the Army Reserve could be for you. You'll enjoy the satisfaction of giving something back to Australia, while benefitting from:
- tax-free daily pay
- free healthcare and accommodation when serving
- a flexible commitment
- rewarding work that builds on your day job
- comprehensive training
- a supportive team environment

All that plus exciting opportunities to support Regular Army activities - including exercises and operations - with potential deployments overseas.
Your part-time role
One day you might be distributing orders on behalf of your commander. The next could see you handling a high-powered rifle on a firing range.
This is no ordinary part-time administration job. And the Army Reserve is no ordinary employer.
The Army is one of Australia's largest and most dynamic organisations, and it takes a great deal of administrative effort to keep it running smoothly and effectively.
As an Administration Assistant you'll act as a first point of contact within your unit, between units, and with your counterparts in the Navy and Air Force. So your communications skills, and your ability to juggle tasks, will be tested.
You'll learn to:
- handle correspondence
- process leave and pay
- manage finance tasks
- organise records, maps and logbooks, and
- generally support your unit commanders.
The admin, office and finance skills you gain will benefit your everyday job, and give you the edge when seeking new positions.
In the Army Reserve you'll also be taught general soldiering duties, which could take you out on training exercises, or even away on deployments and disaster-relief operations.
Can you think of a more worthwhile way to spend a number of weekends away or breaks from work?
If you love the idea of becoming an Administration Assistant in the Army Reserve, apply now.
