Resignation

Resignation

Resignation

A member who wishes to leave the service before the end of their engagement must follow the formal resignation process. Following the correct procedure protects your record, ensures your entitlements are properly handled, and allows the service to plan for your departure.

This page explains the general process, the documents involved, and what to consider before submitting a resignation. Approval is not automatic, and conditions depend on your rank, length of service and prevailing regulations.

  • Voluntary Resignation – a member chooses to leave before completing their engagement

  1. Consider your decision. Speak with your supervisor or welfare officer about your options

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my resignation automatically accepted?

No. Resignation is subject to approval by the appropriate authority, and you are expected to continue serving until you receive formal confirmation.

The notice period depends on service regulations and your circumstances. Confirm the requirement with your unit administrative office before you submit your letter.

You may request to withdraw it before it takes effect, but this is subject to approval and the needs of the service.

Some entitlements may be affected when a member leaves early. Ask the responsible office to explain how your benefits would be treated before you decide.
