The 2019 NCO Promotion Competition will
conclude on 11 JUN 2021. It is anticipated
the 2021 NCO Promotion Competition will
commence on dates to be confirmed and
agreed with the Department of Defence,
Representative Associations and Military
Management shortly after the 2019 NCO
Promotion Competition.
Following the interest shown by submissions
to the Enlisted Personnel Management Office (J1) it is proposed to conduct focus groups
across the Defence Forces.
In light of COVID 19 restrictions it is necessary to conduct focus groups with numbers in line
with public health guidelines. With that in mind it was proposed to conduct focus groups
in various locations with each formation nominating ten (10) representatives for their
formation and directorates nominating two (2) representatives. Representatives included
a selection across all NCO ranks and it was recommended that unit focus groups were
conducted in order to represent the consolidated views of their units members.
Information provided by the office of Enlisted Personnel Management, Human Resource Branch (J1). Dates for the competition
may change, this publication is by no means responsible for the competitions commencement/concluding dates.
