Navy Careers
Want a career in the Navy?. Visit our website www.defencecareers.mil.nz/navy where you'll find all the information you need to get into it!
A Navy career will take you from the Sub-Antarctic to the Pacific and South East Asia. You will explore the seas in a fleet of modern ships and develop new skills along the way. And you’ll become an essential member of a fast-moving, tight-knit professional team.
Navy personnel make a positive difference to the world. While you’re in the Navy you might find yourself doing any of the following tasks:
- Contributing to regional security and defence on board an ANZAC frigate in the Pacific or South-East Asia.
- Patrolling our coasts to protect our fisheries and border security.
- Being a peacekeeper in the Middle-East, Korea, East-Timor or elsewhere in the world.
- Providing humanitarian support or disaster relief aid wherever a community needs help.
