Australian Navy Cadets

We are a vibrant and growing organisation, who delivers life changing nautical adventure for young people turning 13 years of age in the calendar year of joining until the day prior to their 18th birthday. Navy Cadets gives young people a new perspective, broadening their horizons and creating possibilities for them. Working across Australia with 3,000 young people, we help them to see the world with confidence, gained through the challenge of nautical adventure and based on the customs and traditions of the Royal Australian Navy . Our aim is to give young people the best possible head start in life and we are passionate about investing in all young people. We offer a unique mix of activities and experiences, delivered locally, regionally and nationally, which improves life skills for the community. Through this we create a sense of belonging and identity where young people flourish, gaining confidence, skills for life, values and possibly qualifications, which help them seize a better future We currently have a wonderfully dedicated group of approx 500 Adult Volunteers who run the 90 Navy Cadet Units across Australia.
