The Australian Navy Cadets (ANC), Australian Army Cadets (AAC) and Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC) are community based youth development organisations. Cadets is open to young men and women aged from 12 ½ years for Navy and Army cadets, and 13 years for Air Force cadets. You can stay as a cadet until one day before you turn 20. As a cadet you learn leadership, team building and survival skills, at the same time experiencing what life is like in the Navy, Army or Air Force.
As a cadet you get to experience things that you wouldn’t in everyday life. You get to visit military bases, go onboard ships and tour planes, tanks and other military equipment. You'll get an official service uniform and learn drill, communications, first aid, navigation and safe weapons handling and most of all have a lot of fun.
Selected cadets get to participate in the Overseas Exchange Program. Small groups of cadets will experience the culture and training of another country for up to two weeks. Recent programs have taken cadets to India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, United Kingdom, Canada, United States and Vietnam.
You'll get to go sailing, hiking, canoeing and camping. Plus you'll learn everything about seamanship; from navigational training to naval signals and communication and even undertake a yearly sea trek. You'll study first aid and fire fighting as well as undertake parade training. It's challenging, but the rewards are fantastic.
