CHAPTER 1

AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE CADETS: GOVERNANCE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Australian Defence Force Cadets (ADF Cadets) comprises the
Australian Navy Cadets (ANC), the Australian Army Cadets (AAC), and the
Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC). These Cadet Forces are voluntary, uniformed
youth development organisations established w ithin Defence. They comprise Officers
of Cadets (OOC), Instructors of Cadets (IOC) and Cadets, and drawing on support
from schools, the community and ADF Cadets Approved Volunteers as well as from
Defence. The ADF Cadets has a distinctive Service character and relationships, and
the three Cadet Forces are closely allied to the three ADF Services, respectively the
Royal Australian Navy, the Australian Army and the Royal Austral ian Air Force
(RAAF). The prime focus of the ADF Cadets is on youth development, however, it
also seeks to encourage young people interested in the ADF to pursue careers in
Defence and to engender a positive community attitude towards the ADF.

1.2 The ANC, the AAC and the AAFC are established under subsections 38(1) of
the Naval Defence Act 1910, 62(1) of the Defence Act 1903, and 8(1) of the Air Force
Act 1923 respectively. Those Acts authorise the making of regulations that make
provision for, and in relation to, the organisation, maintenance, regulation, control
and discipline of the cadet forces. The Acts describe the periods and conditions of
service of members (other than conditions of service w ith respect to which
determinations under s 588 may be made), and the promotion of members. Such
regulations have been made, in Cadet Forces Regulations 2013 (CFR 13). Under
Defence Act 1903, s 588, the Minister for Defence may make determinations relating
to remuneration, allowances and other benefits for OOC, IOC and cadets. Such a
determination has been made in Defence Determination 2005115 Conditions of
Service (as amended).

1.3 In accordance with CFR13 OOC and IOC are not members of the ADF.
Cadets are not members of the ADF. However, ADF Cadets Personnel are, for the
purposes of the Privacy Act 1988, considered part of Defence, and under the Work
Health and Safety Act 2011 , OOC and IOC and cadets are deemed workers and the
relevant Service Chief is deemed to be the employing authority. The Military
Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 makes provision for the compensation of
OOC, IOC and cadets for injuries and illnesses incurred in connection with their ADF
Cadets duties. The Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 and Public
Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013, and associated Regulations
and Orders under that legislation, contain provisions relevant to the application of
public moneys by the ADF Cadets.
POLICY STATEMENT
1.4 The ADF Cadets is a personal development program for young people,
conducted by Defence in cooperation with schools and the community . ADF Cadets
benefits the Nation by developing an individual's capacity to contribute to society,

AL1
 DEF.02.0006.001.3498_E

UNCONTROLLED IF PRINTED
YOUTHPOLMAN,Part3
1-2
fostering an interest in Defence Force careers, and developing ongoing support for
Defence. The ADF Cadets is an inclusive organisation that provides opportunities for
young people from a wide range of social backgrounds and abilities.

1.5 The objectives of the ADF Cadets are:

a. to conduct a creative youth development program in a military environment

that extends individuals beyond their self imposed limits;

b. to develop an understanding of the balance between personal freedoms and

choice and the responsibilities that they bring;

c. to promote self reliance, self esteem and self discipline, and develop and
recognise a broad range of skills including leadership and team work;

d. to contribute to social development by encouraging pride in self, community

and nation; equipping young people to be better citizens; encouraging a
volunteer ethos; developing work and life skills; and providing a supportive
and safe environment; and

e. to contribute to the development of the ADF through cooperation with the

community ; enhancing Defence's reputation in the community ; maintaining
Service customs traditions and values; promoting understanding of what
Defence does, and generating a return on Defence's investment by
promoting Defence career opportunities.

1.6 ADF Cadets Personnel should be enabled to deliver the ADF Cadets
program in an environment of trust and empowerment; expect and receive support in
the administration and planning of the program and when things go wrong; receive
timely responses to their day-to-day needs; and be recognised for their contribution .

1.7 Cadets should experience a program of safe, enjoyable, disciplined activities

that contribute to their development into balanced, responsible adults; help develop
their potential as future leaders; provide opportunities for them to undertake a range
of challenging and interesting military-like activities unique to the ANC, AAC and
AAFC respectively; familiarise them with the culture, values and environment of the
Service with which they associate themselves as cadets, and with the ADF as a
whole; and contribute to the fulfilment of accreditation requirements for relevant
activities.

1.8 Parents and guardians of cadets should be confident that their children are
participating in a program of activities that are safe, well-organised and properly
supervised. Parents and guardians should be assured that their children will derive
benefits from these programs leading to their development as responsible, balanced
adults.

1.9 Schools and communities should gain an understanding of the purpose and
goals of the ADF Cadets, including that it is primarily a youth development scheme
that benefits the nation; the presence of a uniformed, disciplined group of young
people who are available to support a variety of important ceremonial and other
activities; and a positive outlet for youth participation.

1.10 The ADF should gain a uniformed presence in Australian communities, some
of them remote from routine contact with ADF organisations; opportunities to
reinforce the positive image of the ADF in communities across the nation;
opportunities to ensure that cadets develop a positive view of contact with their
respective Service and the ADF as a whole that they will carry with them throughout
their lives; and a significant source of potential recruits.

1.11 Under Naval Defence Act, s 39(1), Defence Act, s 62(9), and Air Force Act, s
8(9) respectively , each of the Chief of Navy, the Chief of Army and the Chief of Air
Force is to administer their respective cadet force, subject to:

a. CFR13;

b. any relevant determinations under Defence Act s 588;

c. any directions of the Minister (including the Parliamentary Secretary for

Defence, who has portfolio responsibilities for the ADF Cadets); and

d. any directions of the Chief of Defence Force (CDF) (and the Vice Chief of
Defence Force (VCDF) as delegate pursuant to CDF Directive 02/2013)
including CDF Directive - Governance of the Australian Defence Force
Cadets 07/2014.

1.12 Under Naval Defence Act, s 44B(3A), Defence Act, s 120A(3DA) and Air
Force Act, s 8A{1A), the CDF's powers of direction may be delegated to the VCDF.
By CDF Directive 2/2013, the CDF's power to give directions with respect to the
administration of the ADF Cadets has been delegated to VCDF.

1.13 Each of the ANC, AAC and AAFC is to be administered in accordance with
the policies contained in this Part 3 of YOUTHPOLMAN, in order to achieve the
above purpose and objectives.

SCOPE
1.14 The policy contained in this Chapter applies to:

a. all Defence personnel;

b. all ADF Cadets personnel; and

c. external service providers where adherence to the requirements of this

Chapter has been made a condition of their contract.

GLOSSARY
1.15 The YOUTHPOLMAN glossary provides a list of definitions and abbreviations
which apply to this chapter. The Australian Defence glossary provides additional
guidance on Defence terms and acronyms.
