R U OK?

🟡 R U OK? You don't have to have all the answers. Just start the conversation. 🟡

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. School, friendships, family, social media, sport, Cadets and everyday pressures can all add up.

This R U OK? Day, take a moment to check in with a mate. A simple "Are you OK?" could make a real difference.

✅ Ask the question
👂 Listen without judgment
👉 Encourage action if needed
🔄 Check in again later

If you're not feeling OK yourself, remember that it's always OK to ask for help. Reach out to a trusted adult, parent, carer, teacher, Cadet staff member, or someone you feel comfortable talking to.

As an Australian Army Cadet, you also have access to support through:

⛪ Chaplaincy Services

🤝 Free counselling through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), available to all Cadets and Army Cadet Staff.

There are also free professional support services available:

📱 Kids Helpline

Remember, looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health.

No matter what you're facing, you don't have to go through it alone.

📢 Parade Night Change – Tuesday 23 June

Attention 67 ACU Cadets and Families,

Please note that 67 ACU will be parading on Tuesday 23 June instead of our normal Wednesday night parade.

Cadets will be joining members of the 12th/40th Battalion, The Royal Tasmania Regiment - Australian Army for a special engagement activity at Paterson Barracks.

The evening will provide an opportunity to interact with Army personnel, view military equipment and capabilities and gain an insight into Army Reserve service in Tasmania.

🗓 Date: Tuesday 23 June 2026
🕖 Time: 1900–2200 hrs
📍 Location: Paterson Barracks
🎖 Dress: Dress of the Day

This is a unique opportunity to strengthen the connection between the Australian Army Cadets and the Army Reserve while learning more about future service pathways.

We look forward to seeing all cadets there for what should be a great night.

🌺 ANZAC Day 2026 🌺

Today, members of the unit proudly supported cenotaph guard duties at both the dawn service and the 11am service in Longford, with the 11am Longford service attended by Her Excellency the Honourable Barbara Baker AC, Governor of Tasmania. At the same time, the remainder of the unit participated in the main ANZAC Day march and 11am service in Launceston.

We are extremely proud to have supported ANZAC Day commemorations across our local communities and to stand alongside our local RSLs in remembering and honouring those who have served, and those who continue to serve.

Lest we forget. 🇦🇺🇳🇿

Cadets seen in this post are using the F88i, which is an innocuous training weapon and is incapable of firing.
