ADCA - Australian Defence Colleges Association

WELCOME

Welcome to the Australian Defence Colleges Association (ADCA) website. This website enables Alumni of CDSS and ACSC and their predecessor institutions to maintain contact with each other after graduation  through email and by joining us at a variety of functions held by the ADCA at the Australian Defence College (ADC) Weston Creek Mess, Canberra. We will also host information about overseas functions which you may also like to attend if you are in country at the time.

The website also serves as a vital conduit between its members and the ADC and is a valuable source of information on activities undertaken at the ADC, overseas study tours, and outstanding achievements by Alumni.

To access graduate information, receive the Alumni journal, Yolla, or be notified of upcoming events, you will need to become a registered member of the Association. You can also arrange reunions for course mates through the Association and may be eligible for a sum of money to assist with that.

*           Joint Services Staff College,
*           Australian Centre for Defence and Strategic Studies (1995-98),

On behalf of the ADCA, the Association Secretary maintains a database of all graduates from the CDSS and ACSC and their predecessor institutions at Weston Creek.
