Money
for suggestions
The Navy Suggestion Scheme is an incentive scheme that is open
to all uniformed and civilian members of the Navy.
It is aimed at encouraging members to think about and propose
changes that will benefit the Navy. These changes can be in their
immediate working area or in a wider Navy context.
The scheme provides financial rewards of up to $1000 for individuals
and groups of staff who make suggestions that are implemented
or considered worthy of recognition.
To make a suggestion, just fill out a form (AA411 – Navy Suggestion
Scheme Submission - available on the Web Forms System.
Alternatively call LCDR Paul Lashko on 02-62667539 for an emailed
form), add the relevant paperwork to support your suggestion,
get your supervisor to sign it and forward it to:
Directorate of Navy Improvement Strategies,
RAN Suggestion Scheme Manager,
R1-4-C027,
Russell Offices, Canberra 2600.

Early promotion
In
our story “Navy goes to doctor”, published on page ten of our
December 16 edition, we suggested Dr Hoare was a “young surgeon
Lieutenant” when he walked through the gates of the college.
He was in fact a “young cadet Midshipman” and only took up medicine
later.
