Catch and keep: Defence looks at adf manpower to 2030

摘要

Despite the mining boom, ADF recruitment and retention figures are improving, though some key technical trades are still causing concern. Overall, Defence is making progress towards its goal of a bigger defence force. One of the Companion Reviews to the new Defence White Paper is the Defence Workforce Review, co-chaired by Major General Mick Slater, Head Personnel Executive. This will contribute to the White Paper by addressing the 'people' dimension of capability, including the workforce requirements and strategies required to meet the workforce challenges out to 2030.
