If your transition is involuntary, you will be issued with a Separation Notice and will be invited to provide a written response.
The separation will not take effect until you provide a written response, or the period for providing a written response concludes.
Notice periods for involuntary transitions can vary.
A notice period of 120 days will be considered in the case of a medical transition, following Military Employment Classification Review Board (MECRB) determination.
Delegates may bring this date forward in some cases, ensuring that adequate time is provided for the completion of mandatory transition administration.
For other types of involuntary separation, a notice period of up to 90 days is applied from the date the member is notified by their Commander of the separation decision.
In the case of Administrative transitions resulting from breaches of the Defence Force Discipline Act 1982, separation notice periods may be considered on a case-by-case basis. If you have received advice from your Service or Chain of Command that you will be transitioned, make contact with your nearest ADF Transition Centre as soon as possible.
