RAAF Legal Reserve

The RAAF Legal Reserve has vacancies for reserve legal officers who reside in the Brisbane and Townsville areas to provide legal support primarily to RAAF Amberley and RAAF Townsville.

RAAF Reserve Legal Officers undertake a wide variety of legal tasks, some of them rarely encountered by their civilian counterparts. Practice areas are in Operations Law (a sub-set of public international law), Military Discipline Law and Military Administrative Law (particularly administrative inquiry work). Full training is provided at Commonwealth expense.

Reserve Legal Officers also provide civil law advice and provide legal aid to military members and advice to commanding officers.

Entry into the RAAF Specialist (Legal) Reserve is by selection to fill available vacancies.

RAAF Specialist (Legal) Reserve members on part-time service are paid at a daily rate of pay which is tax-free. Salary will continue to increase based on Competency Level, rank and the number of years of service completed in that rank.

Contact officers are Group Captain David Montgomery (0414 180 060) for Amberley positions, and Group Captain Myles Thompson (0458 310 200) for Townsville positions. Expressions of interest (including a CV) should be sent electronically to tanya.fraser1@defence.gov.au by Thursday 30th September 2010.
