13.01.2022 COVID Update for 37ACU. All face-to-face AAC activities were ceased in March 2020. With the relaxation of restrictions planning had recommenced for the resumption of AAC Activities. A return and approval would be subject to State guidance and adoption of appropriate risk mitigation measures. The COMD AAC is the only approving authority for all AAC activities to recommence. Unfortunately due to the current situation in Victoria our potential recommencement will be further del...ayed. The priority for the AAC program remains the safety of the cadets and our volunteers. I would encourage each member of the unit to log into our online training, touch base with each other and ask hows things, keep your relationships strong and continue to encourage one another. Reach out if required the padre, staff and volunteers are available for a chat. Kind Regards, OC

12.01.2022 Restart Update. 2021 Unfortunately we still have no approvals to recommence. Please keep an eye on this page for any updates on dates and times. I will advise of the plan as soon as possible.... Kind Regards CAPT(AAC)D.Manley
