Members of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) will be allowed to have facial hair from November 1, with changes to be made to the dress manual as the military's main air wing moves to "continue to evolve".
The RAAF's Air Marshal Rob Chipman — as Chief of Air Force — advised staff in a letter that facial hair would be allowed, provided it was in keeping with health and safety requirements and that a neat and professional appearance was maintained.
