Transfer from RAF to RAAF

[nicoop]

Hi everyone. We are very interested in moving to Australia and would like to do so by transferring my husbands job from uk RAAF. Does anyone know if this is possible and how we find out more info. We have been on the RAAF site and chatted to someone in Australia but they had no idea if a transfer was possible. We do know that his trade is on the In Demand List. Any help at all appreciated, Many thanks Nic

Hi,

Suggest you contact the Australian High Commission in London. We have many ex RAF members who have enlisted in the RAAF. Not a transfer but an enlistment.

Hi there. We transferred over from the RAF 3 months ago. We are happy. The process was quite easy and we now have 3 families of friends making the move later this year - one from Cranwell, one from Kinloss and one from Abbey Wood - so you can see the move is quite popular. You can apply on line - go to ADF and read on about RAAF. Once you have applied on line you should hear back from someone in Canberra. She will help loads and if your OH is looking like a possible candidate they will invite you both to an interview at the High Commission in London. We had our interview at the end of 2006 and flew out here in 2007. If you have any more questions, drop me a line. Hope all goes well for you.
