A professional association for both current and ex-serving linguists and language enthusiasts from Defence Australia. We exist to keep people connected, skills current, and knowledge alive — during service and well beyond it.

We work alongside Defence — not within it — allowing us to advocate for linguists, partner with industry, and preserve hard-won expertise that might otherwise be lost.

We are just getting started as an organisation — while we're not quite ready to process membership registrations, you can still register your interest to join via our Membership page.

The association seeks to address the full spectrum of professional and welfare needs for our members. Our extensive consultation led us to identify seven core objectives regarding increases in:

• Advocacy

• Career support

• Community building

• Professional development

• Knowledge preservation

• Cultural development

• Industry integration

Take a look at the way we intend to meet each of these objectives through various services and initiatives using the button below.

We are guided by four interconnected values, including:

Service — Professionalism — Integrity — Respect

These values form the foundation of our professional standards and advocacy for military linguists.
