How can we help you?
The DRSC aims to heighten awareness of the Reserve component of the Australian Defence Force among civilian employers, and to encourage their support for those who are, or who may wish to become, Reservists.
Members of the DRSC can explain the rights and responsibilities of both employers and Reservists, in particular the details contained in the Defence Reserve Service (Protection) Act 2001.
One of the ways the DRSC promotes the Reserve is by providing specific, easy-to-access information.
The DRSC section of the Defence Reserves website aims to answer basic questions, while other publications and face-to-face meetings provide greater detail. Defence Reserves Liaison Officers work in each State and Territory and are available to meet with employers and their Reservists at any time. They are a wealth of information and can discuss a wide range of issues, from how military training can benefit civilian workplaces to the best way for a Reservist to approach their employer to arrange leave for military duty.
The DRSC tries to facilitate smooth working relationships by setting out best-practice policies for both employers and Reservists. The DRSC provides advice to employers on how to handle Reservists in their workforce, from setting up a formal HR policy to eliminating friction points. The DRSC's aim is to develop an environment in which the Reservist and civilian employer relationship can be managed as effectively and conveniently as possible.
