About AADAA

The Australian Air Defence Artillery Association is a not-for-profit organisation founded to foster a brotherhood of camaraderie for serving and former members of the military that are or have served, in an Air Defence Artillery Unit or Searchlight Units.

The Association works closely with 16 Regiment and provides mutual support to our members through connections with old mates. We provide representation and raise the issues of members, organise reunions and promote the interest of members.

The AADAA relies on donations to keep providing support to our veterans and are 100% used for this purpose.  They are never used for administration costs.

You can donate securely as this website never collects your credit card or bank details.  Donations are made directly via your choice of Stripe, PayPal or via direct Bank Transfer.
