Australian Defence Force Academy Appointment Ceremony
More than 50 high school graduates from across NSW have started their training as officers in the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
These young men and women have been appointed as midshipmen and officer cadets of the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA), before they were farewelled by family and friends for their journey to the campus in Canberra.
ADFA offers an exciting, rewarding and challenging experience to Year 12 graduates. As midshipmen and officer cadets, they undertake a three-year military and leadership training program while studying undergraduate degrees in Arts, Business, Science, Engineering or Technology through the University of New South Wales at ADFA.
