Defence recognises employers of AAFC cadet staff
Employers across all Australian states and territories were formally recognised by Defence as part of the new ADF Cadet Staff Employer Recognition Program.
The program allows Defence to formally acknowledge the businesses and workplaces supporting cadet staff through leave and other support as volunteers. It also gives staff the opportunity to thank their employers for their support.
