Defence Honours and Awards Tribunal Inquiry into recognition for Cadet Officers and Instructors

The Parliamentary Secretary for Defence Support, the Hon. Dr Mike Kelly AM MP, announced today that the independent Defence Honours and Awards Tribunal will inquire into recognition for Australian Cadet Forces
officers and instructors.

”I am pleased that the Defence Honours and Awards Tribunal will inquire into recognition for Cadet officers and instructors. This inquiry is one of the last in a series of reviews into long-standing Defence honours and
awards issues identified by the Australian Government in late 2007,” Dr Kelly said.
