Welcome to Naval Association of Australia

 

We seek to provide an active and rich future that requires determined members.
Being a member sustains the legacy of past service and sacrifice.

 

The NAA pursue five objectives that underpin our mission:

  • Care (welfare) for the diverse and crucial support of Navy and ex-Navy men and women,
  • Commemoration by maintaining the legacy of past service and sacrifice.
  • Cadets (ANC) by assisting youths to become better citizens through support to the ANC.
  • Camaraderie to meet and socialise with like-minded Navy and ex-Navy men and women.
  • Community (Engagement) How we interact with and support our local communities.

Our aim is to be a dynamic and contemporary organisation supporting the Navy fraternity in a wide range of different ways with Mateship at the core of our ethos.

The Naval Association of Australia (NAA) was established in 1920.   The NAA is the only national organisation with the sole purpose of looking after the interests of serving Navy and ex-Navy men and women.   We believe that...

Every member is important to the NAA, the benefit to an individual may not be obvious, however, you will give Voice to Navy in the wider community.  The five objectives underpinning our values point to the significance of membership.  Compensation, rehabilitation and wellbeing entitlements provided to Navy and ex-Navy men and women today is the result of decades of dedicated work by NAA members.

The NAA is responsible for the HMAS Sydney II Virtual Memorial Website.

Petition Reason

This e-petition aims to attain recognition for service by Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force members, Police, St John Ambulance Association, Red Cross, Salvation Army, and civilians in disaster relief operation following the destruction of Darwin caused by Cyclone Tracy. Approximately 8,000 personnel operated from 25 December 1974 to 30 June 1975, evacuating people, stabilising buildings, bringing in vital supplies, and dealing with casualties. This e-petition argues the National Emergency Medal should be bestowed on all uniformed people involved. The Medal, struck in 2011, was immediately made retrospective for operations in bushfires back to 2009. However, despite several approaches to previous governments to recognise personnel in Cyclone Tracy recovery operations, their reasoning was “the burden of providing historical information for personnel, including researching and sourcing it makes retrospectivity unfeasible.” The petition emphasizes that medals are not merely decorations, but symbols of Australia’s gratitude, respect, and acknowledgment of service and sacrifice.

Petition Request

We therefore ask the House to request the National Emergency Medal Committee to reconsider whether Cyclone Tracy should be declared a nationally significant emergency for the purpose of the National Emergency Medal, noting that feasibility cannot be known until award recognition is tried. The services involved have personnel in place who can access their records. Your petitioners are capable of assessing other personnel who might apply. If this course of action is not possible, the petitioners request that the Government initiates a process for creation of a totally new medal in Australia – The Cyclone Tracy Medal.
