AAFC policy and higher level administration is handled by the Directorate of Reserves - Air Force at Russell Offices in Canberra. When AAFC cadets and staff are participating in a camp or course at a RAAF Base, they are provided with free accommodation and three meals a day. When on camp, cadets will experience a similar lifestyle to permanent Air Force personnel. These buildings may be shared with Army Reserve units or a school.
Some Flights own their own buildings.
Each year, the RAAF commits a significant sum of money to help pay for the transport of cadets from their home towns to RAAF Bases for camps and courses. When available, RAAF aircraft are used to give AAFC cadets air experience and familiarisation flights. Sometimes, service aircraft are used to transport cadets interstate to and from camps and exercises. Most AAFC Wings have a flying training program. To help keep the aircraft operating costs as low as possible, the RAAF supplies the AAFC with free aviation fuel for the aircraft.
