Please contact your local DRS office on 1800 803 485 regarding the Prince of Wales Awards, which are currently on hold.
Tasman Scheme
The Tasman Scheme allows selected non-commissioned Reservists to travel to New Zealand for a two-week attachment to a military unit of similar capability to the one to which the Reservist is posted in Australia.
The Defence Reserves Association (DRA) and the DRSC jointly sponsor the activity.
The Tasman Scheme is designed to promote Reserve service within the junior non-commissioned ranks and to promote interoperability between the New Zealand and Australian Defence Forces.
Any Navy, Army or Air Force Reservist of the rank of Lance Corporal (E) and Corporal (E), with a minimum of three years' service is eligible to apply for the Tasman Scheme.
Please contact your local DRS office on 1800 803 485 for further details.
