Throughout the training year, many Defence Force members do not have a chance to achieve a true ‘work/life balance’ due to their commitment to duty. This does not only take a toll on their mental and physical health, but it also affects the family and friend support network. Whether you are a digger that has been in the field for over 150 days this training year or a Principal Staff Officer (PSO) who has not been home before 2200h each night, it is time to embrace the Reduced Tempo Period (RTP).
