Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Defence Force Full time

As a highly skilled Infantry Soldier with the Australian Defence Force, you will be part of a cohesive unit responsible for locating and gathering intelligence on enemy forces. Your key tasks will include patrolling and surveillance, seizing and holding ground, close combat, and providing security for Army units and vital assets.

This role requires skilled tactics, effective teamwork, and the ability to adapt to unfamiliar situations and environments. You will be expected to perform your role in challenging conditions, night and day, and use the skills you've learned to complete your mission.

There is no experience required to become an Infantry Soldier – you will learn all you need to know during your Initial Employment Training (IET). You will be taught to use high-tech weapons, including the EF88 AUSTEYR rifle, F89 Light Support Weapon, and M18A1 Claymore.

As your career progresses, you may use heavy weapons such as mortars, anti-armour weapons, and Mag 58 General Support Machine Guns. You will have opportunities to conduct training and development to enhance your skills and specialise in areas such as driving, vehicle crew commanding, and signal communication.

Infantry Soldiers are part of the Royal Australian Infantry Corps and are posted to one of the seven battalions of the Royal Australian Regiment. Each battalion has a dedicated unit role, and you will be responsible for your own security and the maintenance of your fighting capability at all times.

This is an opportunity to challenge yourself and develop your physical and mental strength while working with a team of like-minded individuals. You will have the chance to travel Australia and abroad, completing a range of missions and operations.
