Throughout the Defence Force, physical fitness is important and maintained at a high level. You need to be fit to do your job well. What’s more, you need the energy reserves to respond to any emergency situations. This doesn’t just mean being physically strong – we need total fitness. And we’ll help you achieve it.

It starts with a full medical to make sure you are in good shape. Unfortunately some medical conditions do preclude you from service, such as degenerative diseases, disabilities and conditions that require regular medication. If you have any questions, you can start the application process and we’ll assess you then. You can also contact a member of our team to find out more on 0800 1 FORCE.
