Important Notice – COVID-19

The Defence Work Experience Program is pleased to advise that we are undertaking planning for activities to take place in 2021. As placements are planned and confirmed, they will be advertised through the “Placements” tab. We encourage you to check our website regularly in the New Year.

A body of work has been completed to ensure that future placements are planned with participant and Defence personnel safety in mind. For more information on Defence’s response to COVID-19 visit the Defence COVID-19 website for the most updated information.

Thank you for your patience and ongoing support throughout 2020, and we hope to be able to provide opportunities for you in the New Year.
