Veteran Employment Program
We recognise the unique skills and attributes demonstrated by service personnel in their service to our country. These same skills and attributes are valued by Council in serving our local community.
We appreciate that applying for roles outside of defence can be daunting. If you are unsure of where to start, or would like some support with the application process, please contact us at [email protected]
Local Government Rank to Grade Guide
The Local Government Rank to Grade Guide was developed to help both hiring managers and veterans understand how Australian Defence Force (ADF) skills and experience align with public sector jobs.
Use this guide as a tool to help you identify where your skills and qualifications align you to.
