If accepted to join the Navy, Army or Air Force and attend ADFA, you will receive a fully-funded tertiary education plus a salary while you study and train. In return for a minimum period of minimum service, your HELP will be covered.

Apply for a role then complete your course with a Defence University Sponsorship (DUS).

Through DUS you can apply for one of these positions while studying for your degree, as long as you have your results from at least the first semester. If successful, you’ll join your chosen Service and be paid a salary package for the agreed period it takes to complete your studies, you’ll also have the peace of mind of a guaranteed job once you’ve graduated.
