Partner Employment Assistance Program

Partner Employment Assistance Program (PEAP) recognises the service and sacrifices of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) members and their families, and the unique challenges ADF partners face in sustaining a career whilst supporting the ADF Members service.

PEAP is being enhanced to provide even better support for ADF families.

To prepare for these improvements applications will be paused from 20 December 2024 to 31 January 2025.

The enhanced PEAP, launching in February 2025, will include:

  • Expanded eligibility - now open to all recognised ADF partners.
  • Increased support - up to $1500 per financial year.
  • New options - includes employment-related training.
  • Reimbursement process - supporting flexibility for members needs.

Applications received before the 20 December will be processed in line with the current program.
