Guest Amyp1988 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi, I was hoping someone would be able to help me. My partner is currently serving in the British Army and thinking of transferring to the Australian army in the next few years. We have only recently started thinking about this so are really starting from scratch in terms of having any information about emigrating. Is there anyone else who has moved to Australia by transferring regiment? I was wondering if you could answer the following questions:- 1. Is there a minimum rank my partner would need to be to transfer? 2. He is in the royal artillary - Do the australian army have similar regiments? 3. Would we need to be married before I could emigrate with him? 4. Do the army pay for all emigration fees, medicals etc? 5. Would he have to do any conversion courses? 6. I am currently completing a law degree and intend to qualify as a secondary school teacher. Could I complete the necessary teaching qualifications in Australia, or would I have to qualify in England and then do a conversion course? I would also be grateful if you could let me know your experience of moving and whether you have found it was the right thing to do? Thanks for any help.

sharon69 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hello, My Husband tried this last year, if you check out the australian defence force website they have a list of trades they want, look under overseas applicants. You could also check out the website 'arrse' to find out more. Good luck, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz n family Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I know they used to do in the last couple of years A mate of ours his brother transferred from the Army to the Aussie Army. And another good friend of ours transferred from the RN (he was green lidded) to the Aussie Army. Both were RUPERTS though. Get him to try asking on ARRSE.
