National Units and Directorates
These units operate on a national level. Headquarters AAFC is nominally located in Sydney, New South Wales, although personnel staffing this unit come from around the nation. Directorates come under the authority of Headquarters - Australian Air Force Cadets (HQAAFC):
- Admin Services Directorate (ASD) supports the AAFC by working with internal and external parties to ensure timely availability of information, processes and activities that will add benefit to the organisation and enhance the cadet experience.
- Logistics Directorate (LOGD) develops policies on, and organises logistic issues such as uniforms and equipment distribution.
- Ground Training Directorate (GTD) develops high-level policies on ground training (Squadron training, Cadet promotion courses, fieldcraft, firearms, roping activities, staff training, etc.).
- Air Training Directorate (ATD) develops high-level policies in relation to flying training (Gliding, Powered Flying)
There are also two secondary Directorates:
- International & Public Affairs
- Performance Evaluation

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or units:
“Just so before we’re international,
We’re national and act as nationals.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
