Values

Mission

To fight and win in the maritime environment as an element of a joint or combined force. To assist in maintaining Australia's sovereignty and to contribute to the security of our region.

Vision

To be a Navy with a worldwide reputation for excellence as a sea power; a well-equipped, professional team of highly motivated quality people, serving Australia with honour, supported by a nation proud of its Navy.

Values

Our values guide our behaviour, how we treat each other, define what is important - they bind us together. Values are a source of strength; they are a source of moral courage to take action. The importance of these values is such that if individual Navy people cannot accept them and consistently apply them, then they have no place serving Australia in the Navy.

Navy's values are:

Honour

Honour is the fundamental value on which the Navy's and each person's reputation depends. To demonstrate honour demands honesty, courage, integrity and loyalty and to consistently behave in a way that is becoming and worthwhile.

Honesty

Honesty is always being truthful, knowing and doing what is right for the Navy and ourselves.

Courage

Courage is the strength of character to do what is right in the face of personal adversity, danger or threat.

Integrity

Integrity is the display of truth, honesty and fairness that gains respect and trust from others.

Loyalty

Loyalty is being committed to each other and to our duty of service to Australia.
