  • WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II Warfare Officers Career Handbook
    WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Warfare O fficers C areer H andbook IV WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Foreword The Warfare Officers Career Handbook provides information for members of the Royal Australian Navy’s Warfare community. For the purposes of this handbook, the Warfare community is deemed to include all officers of the Seaman, Pilot and Observer Primary Qualifications. The Warfare Officer Community symbiotically contains personnel from the seaman, Submarine, Aviation, Hydrographic and Meteorological, Mine Clearance Diving and Naval Communications and Intelligence groups. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook is a source document for Warfare Officers to consult as they progress through their careers. It is intended to inform and stimulate consideration of career issues and to provide a coherent guide that articulates Navy’s requirements and expectations. The book provides a summary of the Warfare branch specialisations and the sub-specialisations that are embedded within them, leading in due course to entry into the Charge Program and the Command opportunities that follow. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook also describes the historical derivation of current warfare streams to provide contemporary relevance and the cultural background within which maritime warfare duties are conducted. It discusses the national context in which Warfare Officers discharge their duties. Leadership and ethical matters are explored, as is the inter-relationship between personal attributes, values, leadership, performance and sense of purpose. There is no intention that this handbook replicate or replace extant policy and procedural guidelines. Rather, the handbook focuses on the enduring features of maritime warfare. Policy by its nature is transient. Therefore, as far as possible, the Warfare Officers Career Handbook deals with broad principles and not more narrowly defined policies that rightly belong in other documents.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY - Thursday, 22 May 2003] p359b-381a Ms Margaret Quirk; Mrs Michelle Roberts; Mr Matt Birney; Chairman; Ms Katie Hodson-Thomas; Mr Ross Ainsworth; Mr John Hyde; Mr John Quigley; Mr Paul Omodei Division 45: Police Service, $617 119 000 - Mrs D.J. Guise, Chairman. Mrs M.H. Roberts, Minister for Police and Emergency Services. Mr B.E. Matthews, Commissioner of Police. Mr B.J. Brennan, Deputy Commissioner, Operations. Dr K. O’Callaghan, Assistant Commissioner. Mr A.J.R. Taylor, Director, Asset Management. Mr P.M. de Mamiel, Director of Finance. Mr M. Bowler, Director, Human Resources. Ms M.M. QUIRK: I refer to the table showing appropriation and forward estimates at page 681 of the Budget Statements. I ask for clarification of several matters. What is the percentage increase in the operational police budget for 2003-04 compared with the previous year and compared with 2000-01? What benefits will the community derive from the increase in funding? Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: The increase in funding shown at page 681 is obviously very welcome by me, the Police Service and the community. The percentage increase from 2002-03 to 2003-04 is 5.6 per cent. Since we came to office the Government has increased funding to the Police Service by 24.8 per cent. That is very significant. The figure for 2000-01 is $442.1 million compared with $551.7 million for 2003-04. That is a difference of $110 million or 24.8 per cent. Regarding the benefits the community will see from that increase, the key component is the additional 250 police officers.

    Flight mode There’s never an average day for AFP members when it comes to the complex operation of policing Australia’s major airports. In search of MH17 G20 team effort reaps success AFP and international policing JAN–JUN 2015 The platypus has been adopted by the Australian Federal Police as a symbol representing the diverse requirements placed on members in the execution of their duties. This unique and tenacious Australian animal is a survivor against increasing pressure from today’s environment. It leaves no stone unturned in its daily pursuits and has equipped itself with a range of features to adapt to changes over many years. It is capable of passing unnoticed if required, yet it demonstrates an unfailing dedication to explore all possibilities in an effort to maintain its special place in Australia’s environment. Although generally a peaceful animal, the platypus is able to defend itself, if necessary, with a venomous spur. This is done, at times, against larger and more powerful opponents—a quality admired and respected by members of the Australian Federal Police.
