Lateral Transfer to Aussie Armed Forces
Hi
Is there anyone who is going through - or has completed Lateral Transfer from the UK Armed Forces to ADF?
My Husband has received his offer latter and we are waiting for Immigtration to contact us.
If there are any people who are doing or have done the same, I'd like some pointers on where things go from here.
He has been offered a 6 year contract starting in Canberra - all of the RPL has been passed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Angie

Re: Lateral Transfer to Aussie Armed Forces
Hi Angie,
My husband is out the British Army in Sept, we have been offered a job in Melbourne. Due to medicals we can't apply for visas untill then, as he has to have the 'all clear' for two years, which is a causing probs as OH has also put in for an extension in the British Army (saves doing a propper job!) but can't accept it until we know when we would be looking at going to Oz (how long does it all take after the visa application?)
So, Not really in a position to help as need help myself, but i am here! Have you been on ********? there are a lot of us on there taking the same route but at various stages. If you havent allready it is well worth a look.
Would love to hear from you again, maybe you could give me some pointers!

Yes, OH & I are going across in April. If you have any particular questions please feel free to PM me.
Also have a look at poms in oz website (take out the spaces from "poms in oz" and add www & .com!) I think that might be what Jo was saying too. Do a search for ADF & there is lots of info on there already and a few other people going through the same thing.

Hello
If you require any information on Darwin, do not hesitate to contact me. My husband transferred from the British Army to the ADF in November 2004 on a three year posting to Darwin.
Regards Michelle
