Shire of Derby/West Kimberley is proud to acknowledge the exceptional achievements and contributions of Dani Cornish, whose career in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) has spanned six years of remote work supporting defence operations across Australia.
Dani began her tenure in the C27 Systems Program Office in Sydney, then transitioned to the Industry Integration Branch, Joint Logistics Command in Melbourne. Her tireless dedication and commitment to her role earned her a well-deserved promotion to Squadron Leader. In a surprise ceremony, Dani was personally promoted today by Lieutenant Colonel Bruhn.
Starting January 2025, Dani will take on the role of Deputy Director, Regional Air Domain Posture North. This marks a significant milestone as Dani returns to the Kimberley region in a position where she will directly influence ADF operations and outcomes for Northern Australia. Shire President Peter McCumstie attended the ceremony in the Derby Council Chambers and applauded Dani on her achievements.
"Dani’s commitment to supporting and leading in the ADF, particularly while navigating the challenges of remote work, is truly commendable. We are thrilled to have Dani back in the Kimberley region in a new leadership role that will have a direct and positive impact on our community," he said.
Dani’s promotion is a proud moment for the Kimberley and underscores the growing strategic importance of the region within Australia’s defence framework. Shire of Derby/West Kimberley looks forward to witnessing the positive contributions Dani will continue to make in her new role.
