Cadets participate in the use of approved military obstacle courses. 

The conduct of the obstacle courses is modified for cadet use, and run under the supervision of Australian Defence Force (ADF) Physical Training Instructors.  Cadets are given a familiarisation of the course before attempting the activity. Most cadets relish the opportunity to wade through mud and climb over walls and crawl through huge pipes lined with mud and slush.

The water quality in the course and inspections of the structures and hardware are conducted regularly by the ADF.
