Melbourne, Victoria, Australia ADF Careers Full time $79,515 per year

Your role:

A Gap Year in the Air Force gives you an exciting taste of life in the ADF with just one year's commitment. You'll get paid for meaningful work, receive full Air Force training, and enjoy memorable experiences – unlike anything you'd encounter in most gap year jobs.

As a Gap Year Chef, you'll fuel Air Force members by planning and preparing food on well-equipped air base facilities, inflight kitchens, and field kitchens on exercises. No prior experience is needed - just bring your enthusiasm for food and we'll teach you to deliver high quality meals wherever you're located. Beyond the kitchen, you'll also take part in various exercises, giving you a true taste of Air Force life.

Your 12-month experience is divided into stages. First, you'll get paid to learn the military and job-specific skills you need for your role. Then you'll post to a unit to apply your newly learned skills and may have opportunities to travel around Australia to take part in domestic exercises and operations. Throughout your experience, you'll be supported by professional and enthusiastic Air Force personnel.

After finishing your Gap Year program, you can choose to continue a career in the Air Force or you can use your new skills and experiences in future careers outside the ADF.

Your duties may include:

  • developing nutritious daily menus

  • preparing main meals, salads and sweets

  • preparing in-flight catering for aircrew and passengers

  • supporting VIP events and functions.

Benefits of an ADF Gap Year in the Air Force:

  • Unique 12-month experience

  • Opportunities to travel Australia

  • Receive world-class training

  • Make lifelong friends

  • Enjoy a good salary package

  • 16.4% superannuation – huge 4.9% over the Australian standard

  • Gain valuable work and life experience

  • Free medical and dental

Salary:

Upon completion of your Initial Military and Employment Training, you'll enjoy a salary package starting from $79,615 plus 16.4% superannuation.

Apply:
