Australian Army - Radiographer (Career Progression) (Start ASAP)

Your role

As a Radiographer in the Army, you’ll work with advanced ultrasound and X-ray equipment in a unique and varied environment that can’t be matched. The experiences you’ll gain through military service will expand your existing knowledge and grow your skills within your profession. 

You’ll primarily work from one of the Army’s health units around Australia, but you could also provide specialist diagnosis on land or at sea supporting the Navy and Air Force. Situations will range from humanitarian efforts to Defence Force operations – both locally and abroad. 

You’ll need to be adaptable to changing circumstances and environments—and even your patients, who will range from fit, healthy adults to injured soldiers. 

Salary: 

In the Army you'll get paid a highly competitive salary from day one regardless of your age, experience or qualifications; and your pay increases as you progress through training.

On completion of your Initial Military Training and Initial Employment Training, you could earn $85,051 per annum plus generous super.

Location:

As a full time Radiographer, your primary place of work will see you based in one of the Army's deployable health units. These units are primarily located in Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney. It’s not possible to guarantee a specific posting location for the duration of your service, therefore you must be willing to relocate.

Life in the Army: 

Action, adventure, exciting career opportunities and amazing mateship—there’s so much to love about life in the Army. Whether you’re looking to pick up a new skill, get qualified with fully paid training or are up for a new challenge, you’ll find it all in the Army. 

Not to mention there’s also the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from serving your country and providing support to communities in need, both here and overseas. 

This is no ordinary job—but that’s exactly what you’re looking for. Enjoy a rewarding career, opportunities to travel, excellent fitness facilities, and free medical and dental; all in a dynamic and fulfilling work environment.
