Defence has launched a new media campaign aimed at educating the Australian community about serving in the Army Reserve.
Minister for Defence Personnel Darren Chester said the Army Reserve was integral to the bushfire and coronavirus responses in Australia and the ‘Your life, plus Army Reserve’ campaign had been developed to help Australians understand how it works and how they can be involved.
“This campaign is designed to educate Australians about the part-time offer, time commitment and lifestyle fit the Army Reserve provides,” Mr Chester said.
“It is important that people are aware that there is no contract duration when joining the Army Reserve, meaning Australians can join and stay as long as they want, and if they leave, they can always come back when it suits their lifestyle.
