Officer ranks in the Australian Army are organised into grades for administrative and promotional purposes.
The rank of Officer Cadet is given to those who are studying at the Australian Defence Force Academy.
Officer cadets wear a 10mm wide white stripe, on a DPCU slide or hard shoulder board, as their rank insignia.
Staff Cadets are presently only full-time RMC-D officer trainees.
Staff Cadets wear "RMC" on their rank slides in order to distinguish them from other training establishments.
