The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is looking to recruit foreign personnel from New Zealand, Canada, the United States and Britain.
The ADF hopes to attract overseas soldiers, sailors and air crew as well as specialists, such as special force officers, fighter pilots and submarine warfare officers with the sweetener of a fast-tracked path to Australian citizenship.
The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) has recently sent a delegation to Britain, where the government has announced cutbacks on defence spending, to look into the possibility of recruiting sailors with engineering experience due to the competition with the mining industry. An ADF spokeswoman confirmed that talks had taken place with British officials. The RAN was working closely with the Royal Navy to offer Australian jobs to people earmarked for redundancy who meet Australia's Defence Force requirements.
On its website, the ADF says it "looks to overseas candidates to fill gaps in our services that can't currently be satisfied by standard recruitment".
Overseas troops who join the Australian services will be given an Australian visa for permanent residence, and will then be able to apply for citizenship three months later - rather than having to wait the standard two years.
