The Defence Work Experience Program is pleased to advise that Defence is offering opportunities for work experience activities. As placements are planned and confirmed, they will be advertised through the “Placements” tab. We encourage you to check our website regularly.

A body of work has been completed to ensure that future placements are planned with participant and Defence personnel safety in mind.
