This FOI release contains the Defence Assistance to the Civil Community (DACC) form AF 095, introduced in May 2022, which outlines the process for requesting non-emergency Defence support to Australian federal, state, territory, and non-government organisations. The form explains that DACC provides short-term, non-enduring assistance based on operational, fiscal, and policy considerations, with decisions requiring formal agreements including cost recovery and insurance provisions. The document also details the Defence High Profile Public Events (HPPE) Program, a consolidated schedule of major commercial, public, or community events approved bi-annually by the Minister for Defence, designed to strengthen Defence-community links and enhance Defence's employer reputation. HPPE encompasses sporting events, air shows, expositions, and agricultural shows, with the restriction that ADF aircraft cannot operate within sporting stadiums for engagement activities. The release shows minimal redaction, with only sender identifiers obscured under s47E
