Australian Defence Force, Reservist and Veteran Support Program

Dedicated support for serving members, reservists and veterans.

Murdoch University is committed to supporting current and former Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel to successfully transition into university study and achieve their academic goals.

Whether you are a currently serving ADF member, an ADF reservist, or a veteran, we recognise that military service brings unique experiences, strengths and challenges. Our dedicated support program is designed to help you balance your study with service commitments, navigate the transition from military to university life, and succeed throughout your degree.

How we support you

From your first enquiry through to graduation, you'll have access to a dedicated Defence Force Liaison Officer who understands the unique demands of military service and can provide personalised support throughout your studies.

Support may include:

  • Individual advice before you commence your studies.
  • Assistance transitioning from military to university life.
  • Ongoing academic support and personalised study planning.
  • Liaison with academic staff regarding approved ADF service commitments.
  • Support in balancing military, family, work and study responsibilities.
  • Information about flexible study options and available university support services.
  • Referrals to specialist wellbeing, counselling and academic support services where appropriate.

Our goal is to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where serving members, reservists and veterans can thrive academically while continuing to meet their professional and personal commitments.
