RFHLFC1984 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have been offered a career opportunity moving from the UK to Australia. My partner (not married) is currently in the RAF and would be reluctant to leave. Is it possible to transfer from RAF to RAAF? I have seen previous posts on here but they are from more than 5 years ago so wanted to know what was still relevant or any advice on how to find this out?

VERYSTORMY Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The Australian armed forces do recruit UK service personnel for lateral transfer. However, I have never seen RAF recruited. He can though look on the ADF web site. But it is a long process and needs the cooperation of the RAF if he isn't at the end of his contract.

RFHLFC1984 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 That's a shame. Thank you though for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have seen the recruitment from the RAF whilst i was serving and it used to be a campaign every 5 or so years. It hasnt been done for a while and the process can take a couple of years to go through too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melb2016 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It is possible. I have colleagues who've done the RAF to RAAF sideways move. Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
