Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Defence Force Full time

A career as a Defence Force Security Specialist offers the opportunity to serve Australia and develop skills in security, law enforcement, and leadership.

With an estimated annual salary of $60,000 to $80,000 AUD, this role provides a competitive remuneration package.

As a member of the Permanent Air Force security forces team, you will support airbase security and Ground Defence operations. You may form part of a team undertaking tasks which could include vehicle control point, observation post, reaction force, and vehicle and foot patrolling duties.

To enable these tasks to be performed, you will initially train through AFSEC Initial Employment Training (AFSEC IET) and consolidate with members of your permanent Security Forces (SECFOR) team in legal powers, negotiating skills, self-defence measures, use of a variety of weapons, and tactical skills used for patrolling and reacting to security threats.

The employment of Air Force Security personnel enables the Air Force to meet its primary objective of keeping Australia's air and space capabilities operational. This role is similar to Airfield Defence Guard however the main difference is that you will primarily patrol within the base perimeter.

Your training will begin at the No. 1 Recruit Training Unit at RAAF Base Wagga, where you'll be enlisted in the Air Force Security mustering as a trainee. Upon successful completion of recruit training you will be reclassified to Aircraftman/Aircraftwoman, undertake security forces training (AFSEC IET) at the RAAF Security and Fire School at RAAF Base Amberley, and, after successful completion of AFSEC IET, post to an airbase for consolidation and contribution to security duties for approximately six months.
