Web nets new set of recruits

Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Defence, Fran Bailey, launches CadetNet.

More than 27,000 Navy, Army and Air Force cadets from across Australia will learn how to build their own CadetNet unit website in an initiative which will revolutionise cadet communication.

The enhanced CadetNet capability and the roll-out of the web builder training has been launched at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra.

The initiative is part of the Government’s Cadet Enhancement Program which is reinvigorating the Australian Defence Force Cadets.

CadetNet is a portal integrating Navy, Army and Air Force cadet websites and connecting over 460 cadet units throughout Australia.

This latest enhancement to CadetNet means around 27,000 cadets, aged between 12 and 18, will have their own email address and be able to participate in on-line learning and on-line discussions.
