Defence recognises that some children may experience disruption to their education each time they move for a posting.
Financial support is available to help minimise the disruption to education caused by posting.
Defence may provide assistance when a posting means that a child needs to:
- change schools
- study at a school not in the posting location
- study at a tertiary institution away from home.
Financial support available under the Education Assistance Scheme includes:
- tutoring
- tuition and boarding school allowance
- tertiary accommodation
- loss of scholarship compensation
- reunion travel.
The ADF Pay and Conditions Manual provides further details on Education assistance.
