What is Defence Reserves Support?
Defence Reserves Support (DRS) provides a link between the Australian Defence Force (ADF), employers and the community from which the Reserve force is drawn.
DRS aims to enhance the availability of the Reserve component of the ADF by promoting the benefits of employing members of the Reserve. DRS also aims to establish a flexible partnership with the community and employers so they are encouraged to support those in the Reserve.
DRS specialists in each State and Territory can help eligible employers of Reservists apply for substantial financial support payments, develop supportive leave policies, participate in the Employer Engagement Program and utilise the unique skills and qualities that only a Defence Reservist can bring to their workplace or business. If you are interested in learning more about the benefits available to you as a current or future employer of Reservists, further information can be found on this website or call 1800 803 485. Similarly, current or potential Reservists are encouraged to use this website to learn about their rights and responsibilities.
