Junior Ranks Beyond Initial Service Obligation
This category is an incentive for junior ranks to continue in the Australian Defence Force beyond their initial service obligation.
Approximately 85 per cent of eligible personnel have accepted the offer of this continuation bonus.
The bonus was established in response to the Defence Strategic Review as part of a suite of initiatives aimed at retaining and growing the highly skilled and experienced Defence workforce.
Early to Middle Ranks Under Two-Year Pilot
This category is designed to help retain people in the early to middle ranks, providing more opportunities for personnel to undertake future career and training activities.
This continuation bonus complements a number of other retention payments and initiatives across Defence services and ranks.
The two-year pilot will be reviewed to ensure it is supporting junior and middle ranks to continue their careers in the ADF.
