Defence Partners are critical to the total well being of the military family unit.  We recognise the unique challenges that come with the territory of being a Defence partner and have therefore developed an equally unique service to help you gain new employment quicker.

• Are you recognised as a Defence spouse?
• Have Defence relocated you (or about to) to a new posting locality?
• Do you want to make yourself more employable?

If you answered yes to these questions, then you meet the criteria for government funded employment assistance (Defence PEAP).  This assistance can be accessed every time you post to a new location.  Be more confident and never have mental blanks again.
