Veterans bring valuable skills to the Australian Public Service (APS): leadership, teamwork, discipline, adaptability, problem solving and a strong commitment to service. These skills are highly relevant across APS roles from service delivery and operations to policy, project management, corporate services, technical roles and leadership.
This page helps you understand how APS jobs work, where to find vacancies, how to translate your ADF experience into civilian language and how to prepare a strong application. You can also use the Australian Public Service Commission’s Cracking the Code guide for more detailed advice.
If you have served in the Australian Defence Force, including as a reservist, there are many ways to continue serving the Australian community through APS employment.
