While the number of permanent and reserve ADF members is known, the exact number and characteristics of ex-serving ADF members in Australia is unknown and veterans are not readily identifiable in many general population health and welfare data sets.
However, little is known about the ex-serving members who do not interact with DVA. As part of this partnership, AIHW has worked with the Department of Defence to link information from Department of Defence personnel systems to a variety of health and welfare data sources.
An aim has been to better understand the characteristics of all veterans including cause of death, health and pharmaceutical usage and use of homelessness services. The first stage of this work linked information from the Defence Personnel Management Key Solution PMKeyS which started on 1 January , to enable understanding of the cohort of ex-serving members who had served at least one day since 1 January See Veterans reports.
Since that time, DVA and AIHW have explored how to establish a larger cohort which would be more representative of the whole veteran population. The Department of Defence investigated obtaining data from a range of historical personnel systems used prior to to develop a list of all members who had served at least one day since 1 January The AIHW and the Department of Defence conducted a number of stages of validation of this list to ensure that it was complete and did not contain duplicates.
More information about this process is contained in the Technical notes. This report provides demographic and service-related characteristics of all ADF members who have served at least one day since 1 January with information current as of 31 December These three ADF service status groups will be referred to as; permanent, reserve and ex-serving for the remainder of this report. In previous reports, permanent ADF members were referred to as serving—there has however been no methodological change and the term is comparable to previous reports.
Reserve: ADF members in the active or inactive reserve forces for the Navy, Army or the Air Force as of 31 December , who are still in the reserve forces. Most members leaving full-time service transition to the inactive reserve forces for a minimum of five years , unless prevented by medical or other grounds.
For example, it includes both active and inactive reserves, as well as those who have only ever been reservists and those who served full time and then entered the reserves.

Although the total workforce strength of the Defence organisation is set to grow in —15 by 2. Furthermore, the growth in ADF numbers is indicated to slow across the forward estimates, while pronounced cuts to the number of APS Defence staff are expected to continue during the same period.
According to the Defence Portfolio Budget Statements —15, the level of permanent ADF personnel is projected to grow by more than 3, in the next four years see Table 1. The Navy and Air Force will likely see far more modest growth in permanent members over the same period, estimated at 4. Table 1: ADF workforce data —08 to —18 [5]. Table 2: APS Workforce data —98, —13 to —18 [16]. Defence commentators and, most recently, the National Commission of Audit report have noted a significant increase in the number of senior managers within the Defence organisation.
The projections outlined in the —15 Defence Portfolio Budget Statements appear to do little in arresting this trend. For example, the Defence Senior Executive Service is proposed to increase by three personnel over the next financial year, accounting for total staff within this grouping. Conversely, Defence senior officer APS Executive levels 1 and 2 numbers are forecast to be reduced during the same period from 6, to 6, However, the more junior APS staff are likely to be the most affected by job losses, with a projected reduction of positions.
This would equate to a reduction of 12 junior APS positions for every senior position cut within the next financial year. Australian Government, Portfolio budget statements — Budget related paper no.
