South Australian employers acknowledged for Reserve
Support
EMBARGOED UNTIL 7pm 29/10/2010
A function recognising four employers from South Australia for their support of
Australian Defence Force (ADF) Reserves was held last night (Friday 29th October
2010) at the Adelaide Town Hall.
The event — organised in conjunction with the South Australian Committee of the
Defence Reserves Support Council — acknowledged employers who have supported
their Reservist employees by releasing them to perform Defence service.
To be eligible for such recognition, employers needed to display consistent support of
their employees’ service in the ADF Reserves.
Chair of the South Australian Committee of the Defence Reserves Support Council,
Dr Pamela Schulz said, “These Awards are our way of thanking employers of
Reservists for their contribution to ADF capability. Without their support, our ability to
meet ADF requirements would be considerably reduced. In fact, these employers are
also serving the nation in their own way.”
The function was also held to thank employers who have signed up to the Defence
Reserves Support Supportive Employer Program.
