Working at Head Office
If you are an expeditioner employed by the AAD, you must comply with the working conditions of other officers at the AAD.
Normal work hours comprise 37hrs 30 minutes per week, with reasonable additional hours from time to time.
Training will occupy a significant part of your time. Some of this may take place on weekends, depending on availability of venues and trainers.

If you are not engaged on training courses or preparatory work, you are expected to assist with general tasks in support of expedition activities, such as preparing equipment and supplies.
You will be fairly busy, and opportunities for recreation and sightseeing activities will be restricted to evenings and weekends.
Station leaders and supervisors are responsible for the supervision of expeditioners, and you must report any absence to either of those people by 10am on the first day of absence.
Dress code will depend on your specific job. Wear appropriate clothing for your activity.
Cafeteria
The AAD's cafeteria is located on the ground floor below the reception area and is open from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm on weekdays only. Light meals, snacks and hot drinks are available. The cafeteria is also open to the general public.
