Need some advice from someone in the Defense University Sponsorship (DUS) program

Options for non-citizens:

In exceptional circumstances, if a position cannot be filled by an Australian citizen the citizenship requirement may be waived and applications may be accepted from:

  • Permanent residents who can prove they have applied for citizenship

  • Permanent residents who are ineligible to apply for Australian citizenship as long as they are prepared to apply for citizenship within 90 days of commencing service.

  • Overseas applicants with relevant military experience (see below).

Please be aware that if, as a permanent resident, you refuse citizenship or fail in your application, your ADF service will be terminated.

By all means have a crack, but don't make plans revolving around getting in.
