Commandant: Brigadier Brian Dawson

The Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) is an education and training institution which offers young men and women the opportunity to pursue a degree through the University of New South Wales and begin a career in the Australian Defence Force (ADF).  

At ADFA our intention is to provide cadets with an exciting, rewarding and challenging experience in a supportive environment where they will have the opportunity, and be encouraged, to excel.

The university degree and military training that young Australians undertake at ADFA will give them an excellent basis for a future leadership role and open up a wide range of career opportunities.
