While Navy life involves some moving around, you won't be left hanging. You’ll live on base during training, and afterwards, the Navy provides subsidised housing or opportunities for home loan schemes. That’s definitely a win in this housing crisis! Exercises are also a great chance to experience diverse cultures, create unforgettable moments and bonds with communities across Australia — and perhaps even the world, depending on the role you apply for.
To keep you feeling your best, you’ll be provided with free medical and dental care on board and ashore, delivered by skilled professionals in modern facilities. You’ll even be able to stay active with free access to gyms, fitness classes and sports teams with Australian Defence Force Sport.
The conventional sports program — one of three programs that make up Australian Defence Force Sport — includes 29 ADF sports associations. There are a huge range of options depending on your own recreational preferences. You could learn to ski, go to surf camp or represent ADF in a sport overseas, all while being paid. So not only is it super easy to keep your body moving, but you’ll be able to engage in some friendly competition alongside your active lifestyle.

If you’re seeking an opportunity to challenge yourself, grow and make a real impact on the world, now’s your chance to take it. Explore the possibilities and embark on an extraordinary journey towards your dream career in the Navy today.
