Womens Royal Australian Army Corps Print Page
The seat commemorates those who have served in the Womens Royal Australian Army Corps from 1951 to 1984.
Facing a severe manpower shortage due to the demands of the Korean War and national service in a time of full employment, enlistment for the Women's Royal Australian Army Corps (WRAAC) began in April 1951. In the late 1970s female soldiers began to be integrated into the Army at large and in early 1984, the WRAAC was disbanded.
