This FOI release contains meeting minutes from Defence's Religious Advisory Committee to the Services (RACS) from 15 March 2023. The committee comprises representatives from multiple faith traditions—Anglican, Buddhist, Islam, Presbyterian, Catholic, Jewish, Sikh, Hindu, and Uniting Church—who advise the Defence People Group on religious matters affecting ADF personnel. The minutes document routine committee business including updates on Defence Values promotional videos, mandatory training delivery scheduled for May 2023, character and ethics policy development, multi-faith training initiatives, and chaplain accreditation templates. Several action items were assigned, including review of training materials and follow-up with senior Defence leadership (CJOPS, HPC, COFS) regarding policy implementation and resource allocation. The document contains minimal substantive redactions beyond personal names (s47F notation), reflecting the administrative and advisory nature of the committee's work rather than operational or capability-sensitive matters.
