Английская Википедия:Australian Army enlisted rank insignia
Шаблон:Short description Like the British Army, the Australian Army does not use the term 'enlisted' to describe its non-commissioned ranks. Instead, personnel who are not commissioned officers are referred to as other ranks.[1] These are soldiers, non-commissioned officers (NCOs) and warrant officers (WOs). Warrant officers are appointed by a warrant which is signed by the Chief of the Army.[2] The insignia for non-commissioned ranks are identical to the British Army up to the rank of warrant officer class two. Since 1976, WO1s and the WO in the Australian Army wear insignia using the Australian Coat of Arms.[3] Шаблон:Reflist

Warrant officer appointments and special insignia
There are a number of appointments held by the senior warrant officers in the Australian Army. These are appointments, not ranks. In general, the rank of the incumbents of these positions is WO1, and they wear the WO1 rank insignia.[1] Due to it having its own special insignia which is worn instead of the WO1 rank insignia, the Regimental Sergeant Major of the Army (RSM-A)Шаблон:Ref is unusual. (The RSM-A holds the unique rank of Warrant Officer (WO), which is senior to WO1).[2]
Other appointments include:
- Academy sergeant major (ASM): One WO1 is appointed every 3 to 4 years to serve at the Australian Defence Force Academy as the ASM, the position is rotated between the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army, and the Royal Australian Air Force.
Unit level appointments:
- Regimental sergeant major (RSM): The senior soldier in a regiment/battalion sized unit. Known as the RSM, even in units designated as battalions. RSMs hold the rank of WO1.
- Company/squadron/battery sergeant major (CSM/SSM/BSM): The senior soldier in a company/squadron/battery sized sub-unit. Holds the rank WO2.
- Artificer sergeant major (ASM): The senior soldier in a RAEME unit. Can be a WO1 or WO2.

Notes
- Footnotes
- Шаблон:Note The senior warrant officer in the Australian Army holds the rank of warrant officer (WO) and the appointment of Regimental Sergeant Major of the Army (RSM-A)
- Шаблон:Note The rank of staff sergeant is being phased out of the Australian Army, as at 2022 there are 10 Staff Sergeants in the Army, all in the Army Reserve(Australia)
- Шаблон:NotePrivate Proficient is not an ADF rank, it is a proficiency point for which a higher rate of salary is provided. Private proficient simply means a private who has completed basic training, initial employment training and is proficient in his/her trade – generally spending twelve months "on the job" first. A PTE(P) soldier does not 'outrank' a PTE soldier for discipline purposes. However, a PTE(P) soldier (also known as a senior soldier/senior digger) may be made responsible for tasking and training of junior soldier(s) within their section. A PTE(P) soldier is equivalent to an able seaman in the Royal Australian Navy and a leading aircraftsman/leading aircraftswoman in the Royal Australian Air Force. Шаблон:Note A female soldier's title is signalman/craftsman, not signalwoman/craftswoman.
- Шаблон:Note Referred to as a "Sig", e.g.: "Sig Smith"
- Шаблон:Note A private prior to completion of initial employment training (IET) (but post-recruit training) is no different in rank to a private post-IET, however they are on a lower pay grade.
