Experience the Ultimate Gap Year with the Australian Defence Force

Are you looking for a unique and challenging experience that will push you to your limits? Do you want to gain valuable skills and make lifelong friends? Look no further than the Australian Defence Force Gap Year program.

As a Navy Gap Year Sailor, you will embark on an unforgettable journey that will take you to the high seas and beyond. You will work as a fully integrated member of a Navy ship, establishment or resident unit, gaining unparalleled work and life experience. You will participate in a range of seamanship tasks, including general rigging and rope work, berthing and casting off, watch on deck, anchor work, and more.

Throughout your Gap Year, you will face mental and physical challenges that will test your limits and help you grow as a person. You will learn about yourself, your abilities, and you will finish the year having been through a one-of-a-kind, multi-dimensional experience. You will also get to travel around Australia and make lifelong friends.

As a Navy Gap Year Sailor, you will receive an attractive salary during the program and benefit from standard ADF employment entitlements such as free medical and dental care, subsidised accommodation and meals, and employment allowances. You will be supported throughout your training by professional and enthusiastic Navy personnel who will provide the guidance necessary for you to achieve your goals.

Your Gap Year will take place in stages, giving you the opportunity to receive basic training and see Navy shore establishments. You will experience life at sea and ashore, and you could work at a range of locations in Australia.

At the end of the Gap Year program, you can choose to continue your career in the Navy or use the skills and experiences you've gained to move into an alternative career path. There's no obligation to serve beyond the one-year program period.
