What is a Supportive Employer?
Having a Reservist employee requires a certain level of support and understanding on your part. We simply ask employers to support Reservists when carrying out their Defence Service, not to compel them to use their annual or long service leave for Defence Service and to re-employ them afterwards.
The process to pledge your support is simple. All you need do is complete a Statement of Employer Support Form which confirms that you are willing to discuss developing a Supportive Leave Policy for Reservists within your organisation. Upon submission of this form, a Defence Reserves Support specialist will contact you within two weeks to discuss the details of this important initiative.

With this support also comes pride and recognition - as well as a quality employee. By supporting a Reservist, your organisation's name will appear on our Supportive Employer's List both in press and on the Defence Reserves Support website. We will also work with you to promote your support of Defence Reservists.
