Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Defence Force Full time

Are you passionate about enhancing human performance and potential? Do you hold a Diploma (AQF level 5) in sports science, exercise physiology or a related field from an Australian registered training organization? Do you possess two years of relevant industry experience within the last five years and a deep interest in the realm of human performance? Are you in top physical condition?

If you answered yes to all these questions, then the role of a Physical Training Instructor (PTI) in the Air Force might just be the perfect fit for you. Serving as a PTI is among the more strenuous yet fulfilling positions that the military offers.

Ideal candidates to become an Air Force PTI are individuals who actively engage in advanced strength and conditioning training, team or individual sports, and/or high-level coaching for improved human performance in team settings or for individual athletes.

PTIs are enlisted military personnel who serve as the Air Force's experts in maximizing the full potential of its personnel. They contribute by designing, providing, and coaching high-performance strength and conditioning programs to help Defense members enhance their physical and mental resilience through improved fitness levels.

The responsibilities of PTIs demand a consistent display of high levels of personal discipline and physical fitness. PTIs operate in diverse settings, delivering strength and conditioning training and leisure activities both within Australia and internationally.

Some common tasks carried out by PTIs include:

  • Strength and conditioning training, coaching, and functional physical exercises
  • Implementing injury prevention schemes
  • Conducting reconditioning and return-to-work sessions as part of a rehabilitation squad
  • Developing and implementing high-performance strength and conditioning programs for both groups and individuals
  • Providing education on physical wellness
  • Organizing recreational and sports programs
  • Offering training on mental wellness
  • Organizing adventurous training activities such as abseiling and climbing

In your role as a PTI in the Air Force, you will also be tasked with:

  • Carrying out and documenting military physical fitness evaluations
  • Instructing ADF Fitness Leaders (ADFFL) courses
  • Supervising, enhancing the skills, and ensuring the technical proficiency of ADFFLs
  • Handling administrative and managerial tasks that support the delivery of PTI services and resources
  • Managing and supervising all physical and recreational facilities, equipment, and services.
