Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Army Reserve Full time

Your Role


If you're looking to experience adventure, learn strategic and combat skills and earn tax-free pay while giving back to community, the Army Reserve has an exciting opportunity for you.


As a part time Artillery Light Gunner, you'll put your quick thinking and attention to detail to work as you set up, sight and fire mortars in support of ground operations.

You'll be able to learn specialised skills and take on challenges you would not be able to in your everyday role.


Working in a team environment, you'll significantly influence battlefield operations, as your team will operate 81mm mortars firing a variety of ammunition.

You'll be required to receive information, and using a high degree of common sense, translate this into action.


Whether you're operating radio, laser and GPS equipment, driving cross-country vehicles, or camouflaging equipment, you'll be gaining high quality skill to take back to your current full-time career.


This is a great opportunity to experience adventure and excitement, step outside of your comfort zone, and earn tax-free pay.

See how this flexible, part-time role can bring new skills and experiences back to your full-time profession while fitting in with your current lifestyle.


Just give as little as one night a week, one weekend a month or a few weeks a year - and you'll get a world of new experiences back.


Boost your Income


The pay you receive in the Army Reserve goes straight into your pocket with no deductions for tax, and it increases as you gain seniority and experience.

On completion of your initial military and employment training, you could earn a package worth at least $188/day tax-free.

Additional amounts are paid for time spent on exercises and deployments.

Life in the Army Reserve
Thousands of men and women enjoy part-time roles with the Army Reserve, operating alongside full-time Army personnel. The only difference is that your commitment is flexible.


Initial training length will vary based on your chosen role, after which you will normally be expected to serve between 20 and 100 days per year.

This could involve one night a week, one weekend a month or a few weeks a year.


We do our best to make sure this fits in with your work and family commitments; and deployments are voluntary so if you choose to stay local, there are plenty of ways to make a difference closer to home.

And with no minimum period of service, you can leave the Army Reserve whenever you like.
