BENEFITS

The Air Force offers one of the most ample lists of benefits, some of which are unique to the Service. As a snapshot, you receive full medical and dental cover, travel and leave entitlements, rental assistance and even a Home Purchase Assistance Scheme.

Air Force is a values-based organisation. People are respectful, inclusive and strive to maintain the high expectations and trust that the Australian public have in us.

Air Force actively supports members of the LGBTI community through a range of measures and has worked hard to develop inclusive policies and entitlements that are not limited by a member’s gender, personal circumstances or sexual orientation. Air Force actively supports personnel attendance at conferences and LGBTI community events, and has developed a guide which provides practical advice and support for LGBTI members in Air Force.

LGBTI Defence personnel and their families are supported by the Australian Defence Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Information Service (DEFGLIS). DEFGLIS aims to support through professional networking, strengthen capability by inclusion, and educate Defence personnel about sexual orientation, transgender and intersex issues.
