Apply to become AAFC Staff
The AAFC has a ‘constrained establishment’ set by Air Force which operates on a national and squadron basis and means that limits are set on the numbers of cadets and staff.
This means that not every person who wishes to support the AAFC can be appointed as an Instructor or Officer of Cadets.
To meet the need for adequate staff intake the AAFC have created categories titled ‘Civilian Instructor’ along with ‘ADF Support’. Click the Civilian Instructor or ADF Support buttons to the right for additional information.
Applicants who are appointed as Civilian Instructors may be selected for appointment as Instructors or Officers of Cadets following additional suitability checking and training.
