Transition
Planning for Transition It’s important that you start to prepare for transition as early as possible as there can be a lot to consider. The civilian environment is very different to the ADF, but transition doesn’t need to be a daunting experience. Help is available for current and ex-serving members as you move through the transition process and as you settle into the civilian community. A vital step when preparing to leave the ADF is to mentally prepare yourself for the change that lies ahead and also to set realistic expectations of what your future life will look like. • Talk to friends or family who have made the transition. Ask them what their experience was like and what they would have done differently. Even if they had a negative experience, you can use this to ensure that your transition experience takes a more positive route.
• Connect with informal groups on social media that are set up by veterans as support networks • Take advantage of transition information and services provided by Defence Community Organisation • Seek professional assistance services tailored for transitioning veterans. • Make sure that you register to attend a Transition Seminar. These expo-style events will not only provide you with relevant information about many aspects of transition (e.g. superannuation, family services, etc), but also give you the opportunity to meet with the support organisations that are available to you through transition and beyond.
Think about the right career for you The first step is to determine what type
of work you would like to do. Consider the skills you have gained during your time in the ADF as well as what you have an interest in and where you want your career to take you. You may even like to brainstorm different industries that interest you and do some research about roles within this industry. Think about asking family and friends for their input, as they may have ideas that you hadn’t considered. Once you have an idea of what you would like to do, research the qualifications and skills someone in this field/industry requires in order to perform their role. This will allow you to identify any gaps or areas where you may require further training. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. If there currently is not a demand or opening for the type of work you want, you may be able to plan an alternate pathway to your preferred job.
