Navy Cadet Exchange
Each year Navy Cadets have the opportunity to participate in similar cadet organisations overseas from selected countries:
- United States of America
- Canada
- United Kingdom
- New Zealand
In return, Navy Cadets host other cadets from:
- United States of America
- Canada
- United Kingdom
- New Zealand
- Hong Kong
- Sweden
The Cadet exchanges focus on promoting goodwill, fun, cultural experiences, making new friendships and learning about new places and how other Cadet organisations function.
All Cadets going on exchanges are accompanied by our Adult members. The exchange trips are well organised to ensure the experience is an adventure of a life time.
How do I register?
Cadets need to be over 16 (unless specified otherwise) at the time of the exchange to participate, be in good health, be responsible and well presented and have demonstrated a solid contribution to their own unit.
Application forms must be signed and endorsed by your Commanding Officer.
Fees are charged for exchanges and passport applications are at your own expense.
Where are the latest exchanges?
Exchange locations and dates are advertised as they become available. Each exchange will have selection criteria to meet and will have a cost. Fees will vary from country to country depending on air travel prices. All accommodation and internal travel will be arranged by the host country.
Where possible fares will have a concession applied if the exchange can be sponsored by external sources. Spending money is the responsibility of individual participants. Dates are programmed around Australian school holidays as much as possible to correspond with the Northern Summer school breaks.
