Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument repeals the historic regulations that created separate women’s services in the RAAF, removing the legal framework for distinct WAAAF/WRAAF branches. As a result, women are no longer governed by separate service rules and are incorporated into the regular Air Force structure under the Air Force Act and Regulations. The change formalises the ADF’s shift toward fully integrating women into mainstream service.
