The Air Force might be the youngest of Australia's three armed services however, it's the second oldest Air Force in the world. With such a large country to cover, Australia's Air Force needs are varied and specialised. We are an incredibly diverse organisation that requires a huge number of skilled personnel to operate our machinery, fly our aircraft and provide logistical and intelligence support.
Communication and IT systems in the Air Force are among the most advanced in the world, developed largely to meet the demands of controlling aircraft across the globe, scanning the skies and transferring data for critical missions. Learn More
The Air Force maintains a fleet of aircraft capable of performing many roles. Whether it is transport for disaster relief, humanitarian aid, tactical strike roles or perimeter air defence, our Air Force is ready to deliver. Learn More
The future of the Air Force is very bright. Over the next few years, our fleet of F111s will be upgraded to the new F/A-18E Super Hornet, a modern, larger and more capable aircraft than our existing F/A-18 Hornets. The Air Force is also currently involved in the development of the F-35 Lightning II.
The F-35 is projected to be the multi-role fighter/bomber for the Air Force over the next 30 years. Currently in development in partnership with the US, UK and other allied nations, it will be among the most stealthy and advanced aircraft in the world. With three different variants available, all sharing 80% of their parts, it has also been designed to be cost effective in approach. Learn More
