Information about the deliberately differentiated offer

I understand that my acceptance of this offer is subject to the following terms and conditions.

1.  If I accept the deliberately differentiated offer under this Part, I agree to serve for the period specified in this offer. This period is called my 'agreed period of service'. The agreed period of service could be for either of the following circumstances:
    a.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        In a specified position critical to capability.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        In relation to an identified workforce capability gap, where retention of my skills, knowledge and qualifications is essential to ADF strategic or operational capability.
2.  I am entitled to the benefits listed in deliberately differentiated offer that was offered to me, until the day I cease serving toward my agreed period of service.  This could happen when I complete it or if I leave before I complete it.
3.  I am aware that Defence will treat the information in this acceptance form as my personal information covered by the Privacy Act 1988 and I consent to Defence using it in de-identified form for reporting and statistical purposes. I am aware that if I publish this information to others, I may make the protections provided to me by the Privacy Act ineffective.

Full details of the deliberately differentiated offer framework can be found in Chapter 3 Part 6 of Defence Determination 2016/19, Conditions of service.

This acceptance form, and the related parts of Defence Determination 2016/19, is the whole agreement between us about the nature of this framework. It overrides any other prior understanding or agreement about the framework. This would include, for instance, things I may have been told about the framework or things I may have read elsewhere.
