The Australian Navy Cadets (ANC) is a leading national youth development organisation, with the character and values of the Australian Navy, founded on a strong community partnership, fostering and supporting an ongoing interest in the Australian Navy.
Together with the Australian Air Force Cadets and Australian Army Cadets, it forms the Australian Defence Force Cadets. It hosts over 87 units.
History
The organisation was founded in the early 1900s and officially recognised under the Naval Defence Act in 1910. Prior to 1973, the organisation was known as the Australian Sea Cadet Corps, and was jointly administered by the Royal Australian Navy and the Navy League of Australia. After 1973, the Navy assumed full responsibility for the Corps, which was renamed the Naval Reserve Cadets. The Australian Government review, 'Cadets The Future' recommended a final name change to Australian Navy Cadets in 2000.[1]

Aims
The ANC provides a well-planned and organised youth development program based on maritime skills in an inclusive and adventurous environment. The program, which encompasses Navy Values and Signature Behaviours, is designed to nurture and develop:
- service, courage, respect, integrity and excellence
- self-esteem, self-confidence, self-discipline, teamwork and leadership,
- a sense of moral compass and respect for others regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability
- an understanding of the importance to the Nation of Australia’s maritime domain.
The program is delivered by enthusiastic and dedicated ANC adult volunteers
through a range of safe, enjoyable and rewarding experiences.
Organisation
The 87 Training Ships (units) across Australia have a total membership around 500 staff and 2,400 cadets,[3] including several that have been formed in high schools. These Training Ships are split into 9 Flotillas throughout the country.
The ANC adheres to a rank structure similar to the Royal Australian Navy, with cadets having the opportunity to progress from the rank of Cadet Recruit (CDTRCT) to Cadet Warrant Officer (CDTWO). Each unit has a complement which lays out how many cadets the unit is allowed to carry and how many are allowed at each rank. Promotions to Junior Sailor ranks are at the digression of the Commanding Officer (CO) of the respective unit. The ANC requires the cadet to experience a list of different activities and roles as well as complete a task book. This book can be completed during a promotion course or over the course of many routine parades. A 'Learning Check' is also required to be completed at the end of a course, which the cadet must pass to be eligible to be promoted. The structure and organisation of the ANC is based on that of the Royal Australian Navy, but additionally features a large community-involvement component.
Flotillas
There are currently 9 Flotillas in the Australian Navy Cadets. Each Flotilla has a Flotilla Commander (FLOTCOM) in charge who is the rank of Lieutenant Commander, ANC.
Flotilla Name | Flotilla Commander | Motto |
---|---|---|
Attack Flotilla | LCDR Lara Rice, ANC | "Force in the North" |

Ranks of the Australian Navy Cadets are divided into staff ranks and cadets ranks. Volunteers do not become staff until appointed by the ANC.
Staff ranks
From December 2021, all staff members hold Officer of Cadets (OOC) ranks, with Instructor of Cadets (IOC) ranks becoming inactive.

National commanders and directors general
The basic naval reserve cadet (NRC) command structure prior to 2001 was:
Director of Naval Reserves and Cadets (DNRC) was a RANR Officer in Canberra who had overall authority of the Naval Reserve Cadets. Each state had a Senior Officer Naval Reserve Cadets (SONRC) who answered to the LNA or Local Naval Authority usually the Commanding Officer (CO) of the establishment on which the NRCHQ of that state resided. A Cadet Liaison Officer (CLO), usually a RANR Officer, was situated in HMAS Cairns, HMAS Moreton, HMAS Watson, HMAS Lonsdale, HMAS Encounter, HMAS Huon and HMAS Leeuwin (all shore bases at the time). The CLO had responsibility for the liaising between the NRC and RAN in their state. There was no national HQ or national staff until the ANC was established in 2001.

Uniforms/Awards
The uniforms of the Australian Navy Cadets are based on that of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), with only a few differences such as the shoulder flashes of the ANC reading "AUSTRALIAN NAVY CADETS" as opposed to the RAN's "AUSTRALIA" flashes. Also cadets can be awarded "Cuff Rates", worn on the right cuff of the black/white surge jacket (depending on which time of year, as to which version of the uniform).
There are 3 tiers to each, and when wearing DPNU/MMPU each cadet (CDT SMN or above) is issued a black brassard to wear with Velcro to attach their unit patch as well as the Elective Patch of the highest rating for each Elective they participate in. The teers are Bronze, Sliver, and Gold. On ceremonial uniform, if you have reached any level of an elective, you wear a Cuff Rate by the same design standards as the old Cuff Rates (no change of embroidery with varying levels).
For various reasons, the uniforms of Senior Sailors (Cadet Petty Officer and Cadet Chief Petty Officer) are not similar to that of the RAN. Instead conforming to the Junior Sailor's uniform prescribed above. This needed the design of a new rank badge for CDT CPO, who would wear a pin on their collar on the RAN uniform.
CDTWO, however, are issued a version of Senior Sailor uniform, more similar to that of the RAN.

Activities and Training
Courses and Skills
Cadets learn teamwork and leadership skills, and put these into practice at regular weekly parades. Cadets also have the opportunity to attend training camps for the purpose of promotion in rank, standard training, or to gain additional qualifications.
TS Hobart, a dedicated band unit, also offers musical activities as well as the normal cadet curriculum.
ANC and RAN Twinning Program
All ANC units can participate in sea rides on Royal Australian Navy ships, an initiative to provide a link between ANC units and RAN ships.[6]
In January 2019, 30 cadets from NSW experienced a sea ride aboard the MV Sycamore for 6 days, in which they became familiar with life on board. They experienced the different sections of the ship, from getting hands-on doing scullery in the galley to coiling lines with the bosuns to visiting engineering and getting a tour of the engine room . They all experienced standing 1-2 two hour watches per day, with each cadet having the opportunity to do lookout duty and take the helm of the vessel, learning hands-on how to control a ship.
International Exchanges
As the ANC is part of the International Sea Cadet Association, the opportunity is present for members to go on exchange programs with overseas cadet groups.
ANC and Young Endeavour Youth Scheme
The ANC/Young Endeavour Voyage Scheme is a sailing program for Australian Navy Cadets aged 16 and over, focused on building leadership, teamwork and communication skills through sail training. This scheme is being sponsored by the RAN and extends to 24 Australian Navy Cadets and three ANC staff members the chance to participate in two dedicated voyages on STS Young Endeavour. Sponsorship covers all voyage fees, airfares and accommodation. Nominations are sought from cadets over the age of 16 years and placement is offered to the top 24 cadets who can demonstrate outstanding personal and leadership qualities and who have made a valuable contribution to their local community during the past 12 months.
Over the course of the voyage, 24 Navy Cadets and three ANC staff members learn aspects of sailing a 44-metre, square rigged tall ship on the open sea including climbing the two 30 metre masts, setting sails, navigating, keeping watch, taking the helm and helping in the galley. ANC crew are trained by a professional Royal Australian Navy crew who are there to ensure the highest standards of safety and care.
The YEYS staff lead and run the Ship's usual training, games/sport and activity programs, with all ANC staff and cadets coming under the direction and supervision of the Ship's crew. This is not a military program. ANC staff do not have a leadership role while embarked in STS Young Endeavour and fully participate in the ship's youth development program on an equal footing with the cadets whom they would usually lead. The focus of the voyage is on self-development, the atmosphere is informal and all ship's company and youth crew are addressed on a first name basis.
