It operates under the broader federation of state-based divisions affiliated with the Air Force Association (AFA), which maintains a national structure to coordinate welfare, commemorative events, and social initiatives across Australia[1][2][4].

It focuses on preserving the legacy of fallen service members, fostering camaraderie through social activities, and advocating for veterans' welfare[1][3]. Its activities include commemorative ceremonies, aviation interest programs, and support for members experiencing hardship[1][3].

As a member of the AFA federation, the ACT Division collaborates with state counterparts to address national and local priorities. It operates under a governance model aligned with the AFA’s National Board, ensuring compliance with charitable regulations while maintaining autonomy in community-led initiatives[2][4].
Activities
Key functions include:
- Welfare support: Financial aid, advocacy, and crisis assistance for veterans and their families[3].
- Commemoration: Organizing events to honor RAAF history and fallen personnel, including Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services[1][3].
- Aviation engagement: Promoting public interest in aviation through educational initiatives and partnerships[1].
The organization is classified as a small charity by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), reflecting its localized scope and volunteer-driven operations[3].
