ADF pay and conditions with detailed info can be found in the PACMAN. Majority of Laterals take a drop in rank and still start on higher pay with better allowances than they received in the British Army.

I could write a whole website on the superior medical support in ADF, access to private hospitals, BUPA for scans and specialists, speed of surgery and follow on treatment, dedicated rehab to get you fixed and back to full health asap, for free. AND…. The ADF will give your dependants $800 each annually towards treatments through adffamilyhealth.com.
