The Employer Support Payment (ESP) Scheme provides financial assistance to eligible employers to help offset the costs of releasing employees for most categories of Australian Defence Force service.
ESP is paid at a weekly rate (currently $1243.10 per week) regardless of the employee's salary, and there are no restrictions on the way in which employers can use the money. Higher level payments may be authorised in the case of substantial financial hardship or loss or capability related CDF approvals.
The ESP Scheme is administered by the Directorate of the Employer Support Payment Scheme.
