Employer Support Payments Overview


NEW ADDRESSES FOR SUBMISSION OF ARMY ESPS CLAIMS

Due to restructure of Career Management Army, Army Personnel Agencies are being replaced by Career Advisory Groups.

This change affects where North Queensland, Tasmanian and Western Australian ESPS claimants send their claims for assessment.




The Employer Support Payment (ESPS) Scheme provides financial assistance to eligible employers to help offset the costs of releasing employees for most categories of Australian Defence Force service.

ESPS is paid at a weekly rate (currently $1288.10 per week) regardless of the employee's salary, and there are no restrictions on the way in which employers can use the money. Higher level payments may be authorised in the case of substantial financial hardship or loss or capability related CDF approvals (including claims for Medical, Dental, Nursing or Allied Health Officer Reservists).

The ESPS Scheme is administered by the Directorate of the Employer Support Payment Scheme.
