This month’s update includes changes to home purchase schemes, child education assistance, and recreation leave, as well as an extension of the Early Access to Rent Allowance Trial.

Defence regularly updates pay and conditions for ADF members through official changes called amending determinations. These updates ensure pay rates, allowances, and conditions of service stay fit for purpose under the Defence Act 1903.

Each month, we’ll keep you informed about the latest amendments to pay, conditions, allowances, or other entitlements that may affect you and your family.

You can find all previous amendments on the Federal Register of Legislation.

The most up-to-date policy inclusions are reflected in the ADF Pay and Conditions Manual (PACMAN).
