Opportunity:

As an Air Force Chaplain you'll take on wide-ranging responsibilities in a borderless ministry while enjoying:

  • an excellent salary plus generous superannuation
  • ongoing investment in your personal and career development
  • free medical and dental
  • a good work/life balance
  • a worthwhile and highly rewarding vocation
  • subsidised accommodation
  • a supportive team environment
  • travel and leave entitlements
  • free access to sports and fitness facilities
  • friendships that last a lifetime

All that plus meaningful experiences such as joining peacekeeping missions and supporting communities in need.

Your role:

All members of the Air Force are encouraged to practice their religion, and we believe they should be given the opportunity and facilities to do so. As an Air Force Chaplain you will not only look after the spiritual needs of airmen and airwomen serving their country, but as an Officer you'll also take on an important guidance and mentoring role.

Your ministry will be without borders as you work with a small team of Chaplains providing pastoral support to those engaged in air defence, search and rescue operations and emergency response. The work offers unique challenges and great variety in potentially demanding environments, and no two days will ever be the same.
