Each flypast will see the aircraft flying at a minimum altitude of 75 metres. The flypast will be in support of Colo High School’s White Ribbon Day Touch Football Challenge.

The RAAF aircraft will fly no lower than 150 metres altitude, while the Army and Navy helicopters will be no lower than 60 metres
Defence and White Ribbon Australia
The flypasts on November 25th are one of several Defence initiatives to support White Ribbon Australia, and their intent is to encourage communities to have a conversation or reflect on their attitudes towards the issue of male-led violence against women.
In 2015, the Australian Army, and Air Mobility Group (the arm of the Air Force which is responsible for airlift and air-to-air refuelling) were both awarded their White Ribbon Workplace Accreditation. The Royal Australian Navy has previously received this status, whilst the wider Royal Australian Air Force will embark upon an accreditation program in 2016.
The training we received under this accreditation program recognises the positive role that men play in preventing violence against women, and includes survey initiatives to assess a workforce’s attitudes.
White Ribbon’s Workplace Accreditation correlates with Air Force’s own cultural improvement initiatives, and bringing White Ribbon’s goals into the workplace enables employees at all levels to better understand men’s violence against women.
