Women in Navy Technical Trades Camp at HMAS Cairns

Due to the success of the previous Women in Navy Technical Trades Camp at HMAS Cairns, another camp is scheduled for 25th – 28th September.

The Camp is held at HMAS Cairns, with a focus on technical trades in Navy (e.g. Marine Technician, Electronics Technician and Aviation Technician roles).  Girls with an interest in the trades are strongly encouraged to apply.

All meals and accommodation is provided at no cost to the participant, however students and their parent/guardian are responsible for organising and funding transport to Cairns if they are coming from outside the local area.  Camp staff can organise pick up prior to the camp and drop off at the conclusion of the camp from/to Cairns Airport, Train or Bus station.

Interested students must apply online via the DWEP website.  The link below will provide more information about the camp and applications are started from this page:


Previous camp participants will vouch for the excellent experiences and opportunities the camp provides.
