Participation in the CoADFM is open to all recognised dependents (aged 18 and under) of full time ADF members (SERCAT 6/7 and SERVOP C).
Medallions are awarded to children who have shown resilience and growth in managing the challenges of the ADF lifestyle, in particular:
- Relocation(s) due to the ADF lifestyle requirements that have been met with challenges and opportunities that have supported additional learning opportunities and personal growth.
- Connecting in with new schools, new people, sport and/or social groups offering opportunities for personal growth and to explore new beginnings.
- The absence of the member for service reasons that has created additional stressors within the family unit. Although absence is at times a requirement when serving within the ADF it is not always easy to manage for some.
- In support of ADF capability requirements where there has been additional work taskings requested of the serving member that were unforeseen.
