Defence Indigenous Pre Recruitment Course Begins

The Minister for Defence Science and Personnel, the Hon. Warren Snowdon MP, and the Minister for Employment Participation, Brendan O’Connor launch the Defence Indigenous Pre Recruitment Course (IPRC) in Townsville.

The IPRC ensures that Indigenous Australians are well-prepared for the ADF recruiting process and are equipped to succeed in military training and employment.

The eight week course will include modules in numeracy and English literacy, aptitude, confidence building, motivation, discipline, leadership, communication and life skills.

The IPRC has been developed in partnership with the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, who have engaged Bindal Sharks United Sports and Recreation Aboriginal Corporation to conduct the course.
