  Your role

  It's said that an army marches on its stomach, which makes Chef one of the most important jobs in the Australian Defence Force. It will also make you one of the most popular people on base after a tough day on exercise.

  Much more than just mass catering, this critical role involves everything from fine dining to the science behind carefully balanced diets, as you ensure your colleagues are both well fed and fit for duty.

  Your expert training will cover food planning and preparation from entrée to dessert, and your kitchen could be anywhere from an Army base to a temporary facility in the field.

  Good nutrition and hygiene will be your highest priorities; and alongside developing your cooking skills, you’ll get involved with menu planning, stock control and staff training.

  The job promises plenty of variety, interest and travel plus a head start in the hospitality career sector. Better still, in the Army you’ll be working for a dynamic national organisation that offers a great lifestyle plus opportunities and experiences you simply won’t find anywhere else.
