In April 2025, Chisholm Institute signed a five-year contract with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to deliver hospitality training for Defence personnel.
The contract will deliver training to personnel across three services of Navy, Army and Air Force, completing qualifications in Hospitality and Commercial Cookery. Training packages include SIT30821 – Certificate III in Hospitality and SIT30622 – Certificate III in Commercial Cookery.
The first round of students undertaking Certificate III qualifications are due to graduate in November as part of a 20-week training program. Training will be delivered on campus at Frankston as well as at the Royal Australian Navy’s training base at HMAS Cerberus.
Under a hybrid service defence model, Chisholm will develop and deliver specialised training qualifications to meet the unique requirements for Defence, that will also provide Defence members with a nationally recognised qualification upon graduation.
Chisholm’s CEO Stephen Varty says, “We are proud to partner with the Australian Defence Force to deliver bespoke training that supports the development of a highly skilled and capable Defence workforce.”
“This partnership is a strong endorsement of Chisholm’s capability in delivering customised training solutions.”
The contract further demonstrates Chisholm’s strong capability and track record in providing bespoke training programs for ADF personnel that meets the unique requirements of defence and their unique operating environment.
