Divisional System

For all officers and sailors throughout the Navy, the structure of the Divisional System is in place. Members will continue to be managed and supervised by senior personnel, and will have a divisional officer who will be available for directions and instructions, provide guidance, advice, discipline and monitor well-being and morale.

The Wardroom at HMAS Cerberus offers a wellstocked bar, reading room and TV lounge for use by all officers not under training. Other facilities include BBQ, the aquatic centre, cinema, cable tv (Foxtel), gymnasium, tennis and snooker.

For junior sailors, HMAS Cerberus has an excellent junior sailor’s mess and recreation facility, allowing all junior sailors to unwind and relax and bring civilian guests onboard.

Facilities include Club Cerberus, the Anchorage Club BBQ, aquatic centre, cinema, cable tv (Foxtel), tennis, gymnasium, snooker, darts and of course a well stocked bar (alcohol is not served to personnel under 18 years of age).

Accommodation and meals

Trainees are accommodated in three storey accommodation blocks (see above). Each block has a common room with a large tv, dvd player and armchairs. Every level of the block has shared bathrooms and laundry. Cabins are comfortable and fairly spacious, and include a double bunk, desk with shelves and a wardrobe. You share toilets and showers with other members of ship’s company (including females).
