The number, by gender, of Cadets inducted to the Permanent Defence Force in each year 2009 to 2012 along with the number who were subsequently commissioned as officers is shown in the following tabular statement. The difference between those inducted and those subsequently commissioned or still in training reflects those who were discharged before completion of training.
As with all recruitment to the Permanent Defence Force, the intake of Cadets is within the resource envelope allocated to Defence.
Year | Female Intake | Male Intake | Females Commissioned | Males Commissioned | Females Still In Training | Males Still In Training |
