Are there Flexible working hours for parents?
Part time work has been introduced for permanent members of the ADF as a means of assisting personnel to meet changing personal circumstances at different stages in their careers. By increasing employment flexibility, valuable members who might otherwise have chosen to leave the ADF, may be retained. Through a reduced number of working days in any fortnightly pay period, Part Time Leave Without Pay (PTLWOP) enables Permanent ADF members to: • meet carer responsibilities; • seek respite from arduous periods of ADF service; and • fulfil education, training or other aspirations without ending their ADF careers.
