Australian Defence Force Academy

Applications

When we select individuals for admission into ADFA, we are looking for a range of qualities. You will need to demonstrate an ability to develop and enhance the skills and attributes which will enable you to be an effective leader within the Australian Defence Force. These are often referred to as Officer qualities.

There is no doubt that gaining entry into ADFA is competitive. To be selected for ADFA, you will need to submit two applications - one to join the Australian Defence Force, and one to attend the University of New South Wales. To successfully complete the selection process, you will need to satisfy a number of military and academic requirements.
