What Australia offers

Australia is investing an historic amount of money into Defence spending over this decade, including an estimated $268-$368 billion on acquiring nuclear powered submarines under the AUKUS partnership. This is indicative not only of a changing global strategic landscape but a country with a sense of purpose and identity. This level of investment offers huge opportunity for you to bring your expertise to the fore and add a significant new dimension to your career, whilst enjoying all that Australia has to offer.

Australia is famous for its "have a go" lifestyle and Australian people are known as some of the most welcoming in the world. Australians also love the great outdoors and for good reason, Australia is a land of beautiful contrasts, from wide-open plains to lush tropical rainforests and everything in between.
