RSL Employment Program

The Tasmanian State Service (TSS) is working with RSL Tasmania to help Veterans and their partners across Australia find meaningful employment, using RSL's highly successful, evidence-based program.

Available nationally, the free RSL Employment Program is tailor made to help ex-serving Defence members and partners of current or ex-serving Defence members find meaningful employment.

Since 2018, the program has helped more than 870 veterans secure meaningful employment after a Defence career.

It’s free and available online or over the phone.

DVA Veteran Employment Program

The Veteran Employment Program (VEP) delivers initiatives that support Australian organisations to improve employment outcomes for ADF Veterans.

They provide resources to support Veterans and their partners as they move to civilian employment and progress in their civilian careers.

In the For veterans section, find advice and tips on moving to civilian employment, finding a job and undertaking further education. Resources include the Veteran Employment Toolkit, the Core Skills Identifier and a searchable list of veteran-friendly employers.

The For partners section provides information regarding employment supports available for partners, as well as resources to support partners during, and after, separation from the ADF.

In addition, the VEP:

  • promotes the skills Veterans bring to the civilian workforce to increase employment opportunities for Veterans and their partners
  • encourages and supports employers to recruit and retain Veterans and to build Veteran-inclusive environments
  • delivers targeted programs and resources to support the collective efforts of the Veteran employment community.
