About Department of Defence

The Australian Department of Defence plays an important and strategical role for the Australian Federal Government. Working in Defence as a public servant is more than a job, it is an opportunity to be part of a diverse, integrated team of Australian Defence Force (ADF) and Australian Public Service (APS) doing some of Australia’s most important work. Defence offers interesting, challenging, and unique work ranging from intelligence and strategic policy right through to human resources, infrastructure, engineering and information technology. Defence is invested in its people, giving them tools and experiences that allow them to achieve their best and build their careers.
