71.2.2 Member of the Reserves

Employment in the Reserves essentially is part-time employment in the Defence Force – in the Army Reserve, the Australian Naval Reserve or the Australian Air Force Reserve. In some cases, a Reservist may be engaged in military activities on a full-time basis, e.g. during a full-time posting in the Reserves or if called out for operational or peacekeeping service.

Note that cadets are NOT members of the Reserves.
