Australian Defence Force ranks

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) utilises ranks for the officers and non-commissioned personnel of its three service branches: the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Australian Army, and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Each of the branches largely inherited the rank structure and rank insignia from their counterparts in the British Armed Forces.

The following tables show the "equivalent rank and classifications" for the three services, as defined in the ADF Pay and Conditions Manual. "Equivalent rank" means the corresponding rank set out under Regulation 8 of the Defence Force Regulations 1952.
