Your Role

As an Army Human Resources Administrator, you'll serve as a uniformed member of the Australian Army, working in a unique combat support role to ensure military personnel are equipped with the administrative and personnel support they need to succeed. Unlike a typical office-based administration job, you'll have opportunities to get out in the field and participate in exercises or operations, providing key administrative support when required. You'll undertake a range of responsibilities, including personnel administration, financial management, and other clerical support tasks that contribute directly to Army capability.

You'll also have the opportunity to travel across Australia and overseas, working in a variety of environments alongside other military personnel. You may support joint operations with the Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Air Force, gaining exposure to the broader Australian Defence Force. In the Australian Army, you'll be paid from day one while developing the skills you need through extensive on-the-job training. You'll enjoy a competitive salary, job security, opportunities for career progression, mateship, adventure, and travel, all while serving your country and making a meaningful contribution to Australia's defence and security.
