Australian Flag

Today, students at DITC come from the defence forces of more than 30 Asian, Middle Eastern, South East Asian and South West Pacific nations. They range in rank from newly enlisted personnel to senior officers. Scientists, engineers and other ranks also attend DITC courses from time to time.

Over 1,300 students a year pass through DITC, with an average of 50 students in residence at any one time.

A key aim of DITC is to enhance the effectiveness of training provided in Australia to overseas Defence Force personnel, by facilitating the integration of those personnel into ADF training systems, and fostering cross-cultural awareness between members of the ADF and foreign military personnel.

Acknowledgement of Country
Reflection Statement by Alex Herbert

In the spirit of reconciliation the Defence International Training Centre acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present, and emerging. We also extend that respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and women who have contributed to the defence of Australia in times of peace and war.
