Transfer to the ADF from the US Army?

Question

I recently read an article about the ADF looking at allowing commonwealth and US soldiers who are serving or recently served within their respective militaries to transfer to the ADF within their respective specialty fields. Is this true and how is this possible?

A little background on me. I am a currently serving US Army Field Artillery Officer with 3 combat tours to Iraq. I have fulfilled leadership positions within the Field Artillery branch from Gunner, Section Chief, AIT instructor, Fire Direction Officer, Platoon Leader, and currently a Fire Support Officer within an infantry company. I have certifications in cannon crew member, Paladin Commanders Course, Basic Non Commissioned Officer Course, Total Army Instructor Training Course, Field Artillery Basic Officers Leadership Course, and Joint Fires Observer.

Would these skills and experience transfer to equivalent courses within the ADF, and is field artillery even a branch that is eligible for transfer if the article I read is true? What about transfering for officers?

Serious answers from people who actually know what they're talking about please. Thanks

I read the article too, from what I learned you had to contact the ADF directly to apply. I'm pretty sure you would have to resign your commission first before you can transfer since you are not going to be working for the US anymore.
