Ceremonial Divisions are a tradition to showcase the characteristics of a well disciplined person, requiring immediate obedience, steadiness, smart personal appearance and mental alertness.
About 6,000 personnel are trained at HMAS Cerberus annually, at the establishment located 70 kilometres from Melbourne.
The primary role of HMAS Cerberus has always been Navy personnel training. With the establishment of four tri-service schools over the last 13 years, this role has been extended to training Army, Navy and Air Force personnel.
Purchased in 1911 and called Flinders Naval Depot, it was commissioned as HMAS Cerberus 10 years later. It comprises numerous training and recreation facilities, two chapels, small marina and attractive grounds.
