to offer the first Women

The camp will be held from Tuesday 29th March to Friday 1st April

considering a career in Navy technical trades.
Navy technical
careers include Marine,
Electronics and Aviation technicians.

The camp is open to female students in Years 10, 11 & 12 aged between 16 – 18 years of age. Successful participants must have passes in Year 10 English, Maths and Science and applicants will need to provide proof as part of the application process. Based at HMAS Cairns, participants will be exposed to various sub-units at HMAS Cairns to gain knowledge and understanding of the range of technical trades available within Navy. Students will have the opportunity to participate in a number of hands on tasks to showcase and develop technical and mechanical skills, damage control and communications. Students will also have the opportunity to engage with serving Navy sailors to learn more about the Navy lifestyle and with Defence Force Recruiting personnel to discuss pathways to various Navy careers.

This is a
residential camp and participants will be accommodated at TS Endeavour, the
Navy Cadets training facility located within HMAS Cairns. Successful
students from outside of the Cairns area will need to organise and fund their
own travel/transport to Cairns, as unfortunately we cannot assist with this
aspect.
The successful young women will be supervised at all times by personnel from
Defence Force Recruiting, Defence Work Experience Program and Royal Australian
Navy. Accommodation and all meals will be provided.
