With more than 111 different nationalities represented in its workforce, one Australian organisation can boast career opportunities, where people like Amit Jindal can truly succeed.

Leading Aircraftman Amit Jindal is a Personnel Capability Specialist with the Royal Australian Air Force’s Directorate of Personal Branch, Canberra.

Born in India, Leading Aircraftman Jindal was studying Information Technology before changing to undertake study in the hospitality sector, where he first worked in Tasmania as a chef before enlisting in the ADF.

“It was a childhood dream to join the Air Force and I was an Air Force Cadet in India prior to moving to Australia in 2005,” said Leading Aircraftman Jindal.

“I had achieved Australian citizenship in 2010 and I was looking for a way to repay Australia for all it has given me.

Recipient of an Australia Day Medallion for his work with Number 452 Squadron, Leading Aircraftman Jindal has aspirations to keep his career moving forward to become an Officer.

“In the future I want to develop my career, and I have now re-mustered into the Personnel Capability Specialist mustering and for now I will focus on improving my skills in my new role and continuing to learn about the different aspects of Air Force work,” said Leading Aircraftman Jindal.
