Do I have to have served in the defence force to join the ADA?
No as would be expected in a community-based national body most ADA members have never served in our defence force (although many have). The answers to the two following questions provide more detail on why our national security involves all Australians, not just current or former defence force personnel. Further detail on why the ADA is not an ex-Service organisation representing former ADF members or war veterans can also be found below.
