Giving Back

Contributing to the wellbeing of our troops.

AAFCANS is proud to be a not-for-profit organisation and member of the Australian Defence Force family. Our core aim is to serve this community as best as we can. As such, any additional funds we make go back to Defence and our customers through disbursements, price cuts and facility improvements.

Profits from local vending machines are received by each base’s SADFO in the form of a cheque (usually on a quarterly basis). He/she disburses these funds in a way that best serves their local personnel.

In the Financial Year 2021-22 , AAFCANS contributed $713,301 to the Army and Air Force through its automated retail vending program.
