Membership
The camaraderie and mateship that comes from having been in the RAAF — and a way to contribute to the support and welfare we provide for our colleagues.
A place in the Air Force family, wherever you are in service lifeThe Air Force Association seeks to attract serving and recently discharged ex-RAAF personnel to enjoy the camaraderie and mateship that comes from having been in the RAAF, and to contribute to the support and welfare we provide for our colleagues.
The NSW Division is an incorporated not-for-profit charitable organisation led by volunteers. Its revenue comes from modest investments, membership subscriptions and donations from supportive ex-service people. Approximately thirty branches are spread across the state, each self-funding and self-administering, driven by a common vision rather than command and control.
