You and your family’s transition from military to civilian life is made easier with the right employment support. The RSL Employment Program helps veterans, ex-serving Defence members, and their partners find meaningful careers.
Securing meaningful employment is about more than just finding a job. It’s about easing your transition to civilian life or helping your family settle after relocation. The right role can give you purpose and direction and lead to a fulfilling career.
This free program is available nationally, and delivered by RSL Queensland.
How the RSL Employment Program can assist you
If you’re a veteran or the partner of a veteran or current serving Defence member looking for career support – or if you’re an employer interested in hiring skilled veterans and their partners.
Easier transition to civilian careers
Leaving the military means adjusting to new ways of working. RSL Employment can assist you with job searching, strengthening your resume, and coaching to help you succeed in interviews and civilian roles.
Unlocking transferrable skills
Both veterans and their partners bring adaptability, teamwork, discipline and communication abilities – skills highly valued by employers. Through RSL Employment, we can help translate your skills into ones that businesses understand and value.
