We recognise the specialist qualifications, technical expertise, and diverse range of experience veterans bring to an organisation. In addition to these transferable qualities, Veterans possess high level capabilities in leadership, decision making, problem solving and communication, which have been developed and refined in high-pressure environments.

We’re committed to the ongoing employment and support of Defence personnel both past and present, and their families through our Veteran and Defence Family Member Program.

Our goal is to be the Defence industry employer of choice for Veterans, Reservists and their family members through the creation of a safe, supportive and flexible working environment for all.

Across all sectors of our business today, we employ over 600 Veterans, Reservists and Defence Family Members.

Why work with Ventia?

Ventia provides an inclusive and flexible working environment for our Veterans, Reservists and Defence Family members by;

• Providing support for the ADF in the successful transition of its serving members into the Private Sector through mentoring and career coaching
• Creating meaningful opportunities for skills development
• Providing accessible and flexible employment opportunities and meaningful career pathways
• Creating a supportive environment to assist our People with navigating Defence posting cycles through a large national footprint of contracts across Ventia
• Providing support to our Reservists when the need to take reservist leave arise
• Fostering a community of pride in support to the AF mission through recognition of service and sacrifice, preservation of Australia’s wartime heritage

Ventia is proud to be a Veteran Employer of Choice

Ventia is formally acknowledged as a Veteran Employer of Choice by the Australian Government’s Department of Veterans’ Affairs.  

The Department’s Veteran Employment Program is a national initiative aimed at encouraging businesses to prioritise the employment of Veterans.

In undergoing the assessment process, Ventia proudly pledged its commitment to the cause by signing the Veteran Employment Commitment (VEC). By doing so, we publicly claim our dedication to providing opportunities for Australia’s Veterans and fostering an environment where their skills are valued and they can continue to excel in their career outside the military.
