The ADF has reportedly recorded its largest recruiting intake in 16 years, with 8,186 people joining across Army, Navy and Air Force during 2025–26.

That is encouraging news for anyone considering an ADF career—but it doesn’t mean candidates can afford to arrive unprepared.

You still need to:

Research your preferred roles

Understand the ADF Careers process

Prepare for aptitude testing and interviews

Build beyond the minimum fitness standard

Stay consistent while your application progresses

There are genuine opportunities across the ADF. The candidates who prepare early will be in the strongest position to take advantage of them.

What stage of the ADF Careers process are you currently at—and what are you finding most difficult?

I’m jumping on live tonight to walk you through the TBG Academy and show you exactly what’s available to you.

We’ll cover the training programs, fitness pathways, ADF Careers resources, recruitment preparation, community and where to find everything.

It’s also a good chance to ask me any questions about the Academy, your training or preparation.
