The Committee System

There are committees set up at three levels of the Association: National, Regional and District. The principal aim of committees is to resolve problems that come within the scope of representation - at the lowest possible level. If issues cannot be resolved at any level it may be passed up to the next level for resolution. Members in the first instance should bring matters to the attention of their local District representative i.e., any member of their District Committee. There is a District Committee in every Barracks, Post and Ship.

Consultative Status

Consultative Status is the right that has been established under legislation, regulations and the constitution whereby the elected representatives of enlisted personnel can raise issues directly with management at the various levels of the Defence Forces.
