[edit] Organisation

There are approximately 82 units across Australia.Each unit's name uses the prefix "Training Ship (TS)". The ANC adheres to a rank structure identical to the Royal Australian Navy, with cadets having the opportunity to progress from the rank of Cadet Recruit to Cadet Midshipman. Each unit has a quota of persons allowed at each rank (Leading Seaman [CDTLS] and above), training camps and examinations are held for promotion in rank. The structure and organisation of the Australian Navy Cadets is based on that of the Royal Australian Navy.

[edit] Activities

Cadets learn skills in sailing, powerboating, first aid, fire fighting and shooting. Cadets also learn seamanship and leadership skills. Cadets also undertake parades and attend training camps for the purpose of promotion in rank, standard training, or to gain qualifications.
