Employment support
RSL Queensland offers tailored employment support to help veterans and veteran or Defence partners find meaningful work. Access resume assistance, interview coaching, employer connections, and more.
Supporting your employment goals
Securing meaningful employment is about more than just finding a job. It’s about easing your transition to civilian life, finding your feet after relocation, or pursuing opportunities that you couldn’t before. The right role can give you security, social connection, direction and fulfilment.
If you’re a veteran – or a veteran’s or Defence member’s partner – needing career support, or if you’re an employer interested in hiring skilled veterans and their partners, the RSL Employment Program can help you.
This free program is available nationally, and delivered by RSL Queensland.
