OUR PEOPLE

From the Govenor-General of Australia

Recipients at a recent investiture ceremony at Government House remind us that service takes many forms. At Government House, Canberra, the Governor-General recognised 18 Australians whose contributions have enriched our communities and strengthened our nation.

From conservation and community to mountain biking, judiciary and public service, each recipient has demonstrated an enduring commitment to making a positive difference.

Recipients included RAEME’s own WO1 Scott James Kelly CSM.

From the Governor of Queensland

Her Excellency has presided over the second of seven Investiture Ceremonies being held at Government House this week, presenting Australian Honours and Awards to outstanding Queenslanders. Recipients included RAEME’s own WO1 Wayne Davis OAM and LTCOL Jason Long CSC.

Fighting Fires

Two absolute NT RAEME legends giving up their spare time to keep our community safe. Well done, Nathan Carnie and Ben Kolstad.

Keeping it in the family

57 years after Michael Berris marched out of a frigid 1RTB, Kapooka, his 18yo son Andrew has achieved the same in mid-August. He will head off to train as an Aircraft technician.  A very proud moment for Michael. Welcome to the wider Corps family, Andrew. We hope to get a story about your family’s service for a future edition.

Casualty Repair Excellence

On 6 August, 30 ADF medics🩺 graduated from the Joint Medic Course at Latchford Barracks, marking the culmination of high-quality, high tempo, adaptive training designed to prepare them to deliver care when it matters most. Recipient of the Student of Merit award was none other than CPL Aaron Moro! Congratulations!
