Some people have misunderstood CTAS as their entitlement, and that the dollar amount set out in the CTAS table of support is automatically going to be approved by the ADF Transition Unit, to be spent in full on whatever has been requested by the applicant. This is not the case. In order to be granted CTAS funding, you must justify the reason for your request. Keeping in mind that the purpose of CTAS is to support your transition from the ADF into a new career. The ADF Transition team are guided by the governing provisions for this scheme. Approval may be granted to access CTAS in whole, in part or disapproved. So, it is best to view CTAS as an opportunity rather than an entitlement. In order to access this opportunity, you are best to approach your application with a justification mindset. Which means you need to clearly demonstrate how your application meets the intent and purpose of the CTAS scheme in supporting your successful transition.
