PACMATE Part 5 Appendix 5: Single Service Values

Appendix 5 Single Service Values

Introduction

Each Service has its own values.

Navy values

	Our values guide how we will behave, how we will treat each other, define what is important ‑ they bind us together. Values are a source of strength; they are a source of moral courage to take action. The importance of these values is such that if individual Navy people cannot accept them and consistently apply them, then they have no place serving Australia in the Navy.
	Navy values are:
	Honour Honour is the fundamental value on which the Navy's and each person's reputation depends. To demonstrate honour demands honesty, courage, integrity and loyalty and to consistently behave in a way that is becoming and worthwhile.
	Honesty Honesty is always being truthful, knowing and doing what is right for the Navy and ourselves.
	Courage Courage is the strength of character to do what is right in the face of personal adversity, danger or threat.
	Loyalty Loyalty is being committed to each other and to our duty of service to Australia.
	Integrity Integrity is the display of truth, honesty and fairness that gains respect and trust from others.

Army's ethos and values

	The ethos of the Army is that of the soldier serving the nation: mentally and physically tough, and with the courage to win. We fight as part of a team, and are inspired by the ANZAC tradition of fairness and loyalty to our mates. We are respected for our professionalism, integrity, esprit de corps and initiative.
	The Army's core values are: Courage Initiative Teamwork
