“Husband to Aleesha and father to Mahala and Taj. I have currently completed 22 years in RAN with multiple campaigns. I joined the RAN from Brisbane on 22 May 2000. As a Boatswains Mate I have seen a lot of the world serving on HMA Ships Kanimbla, Tobruk, Success, LHD Adelaide III, Stuart, Ballarat, Parramatta and LHD Canberra, as well as posting to shore roles where I have a passion in assisting our next Indigenous Generation. I assisted in the Army and Navy Indigenous Development Program and Indigenous Pre-recruitment course whilst working as an Indigenous Recruitment Officer for the Directorate of Indigenous Affairs. I continued this support while working as a Regional Indigenous Development Coordinator for the Directorate of Navy Culture. Having now been commissioned as a naval officer, I currently work as the Human Resources Officer for Romeo Group” – Jordon Bradshaw 2023
