I am seeking employment out of the Military to be relocated with family and seek a greater work/life balance

Depends on your job preferences, such as their demand and the availability of positions. For geospatial intelligence it has taken me around 12 months from initially applying online to enlistment date. However, other applicants can also be waiting around 6 or 18 months (Again, depends on the job and if they are passing the stages of the application process). The steps of enlistment are on the ADF website, but in summary for general entry include: 1. Book and attend YOU Session (Aptitude Test, Medical check, and 1 on 1 Job coaching session). 2. Confirm job preferences and return documents. 3. Book and attend Assessment Session (Full medical check, Psychological interview/ test, and 1 on 1 job interview). 4. Return medical and other personal documents (if required). 5. Book and attend Practice Pre-Enlistment Fitness Assessment (PFA - Push ups, Sit sups and Beep test). 6. If you fail the PFA test, you can book and try again (3 times max). 6. If you passed PFA, wait for a position to be available (ADF will let you know, could be a few months) 7. ADF contacts you about position opening/ enlistment date, either accept/ decline offer. 8. Complete and return all necessary documentation/ security checks. 9. Book, wait and attend your final Pre-Enlistment Fitness Assessment (PFA - Push ups, Sit sups and Beep test), which occurs a few weeks before your enlistment date (Make sure you are fit to pass this test). 10. If you passed your PFA, wait for your enlistment date (Date that your will be sent to basic training). Hope this helps, and good luck!

Study. Get to know the basics about the history of the Australian Army and more importantly, get to know everything there is about the role you are applying for. All this information is available on Defence Jobs and the Army website. Lastly, know why you want to join. They will be interested to hear your motives in wanting to enlist.
