- Chief of Air Force (CAF) is the most senior appointment in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), responsible to the Chief of the Defence Force (CDF) and the Secretary of the Department of Defence. The rank associated with the position is air marshal (three-star). The role encompasses "the delivery of aerospace capability, enhancing the Air Force's reputation and positioning the Air Force for the future". It does not include direction of air operations, which is the purview of the Air Commander Australia, a two-star position responsible directly to CDF in such circumstances but nominally reporting to CAF. Between 1922 and 1997, the Air Force's senior officer was known as Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), a role akin to a chairman of the board. The Australian Air Board was collectively responsible for directing the RAAF, rather than the CAS personally. Wing Commander (later Air Marshal Sir) Richard Williams, often referred to as the "Father of the RAAF", was the first and longest-serving Chief of the Air Staff. In 1976 the Air Board was dissolved and CAS was invested with the individual responsibility for commanding the RAAF. The position of CAS became known as Chief of Air Force in 1997. The Chief of Air Force may be selected from any of the RAAF's air vice-marshal appointments, although the Air Commander or Deputy Chief of Air Force are the most frequent appointees. While every chief to date has been a pilot, since the mid-1970s there has been no legal restriction on appointees from other disciplines. The CAF is appointed by the Prime Minister and is usually a fixed-term tenure, after which the member normally retires, unless offered the more senior role of CDF. Four heads of the RAAF have gone on to attain the position of CDF or equivalent. (en)

Le grade associé à ce poste est l'air vice-marshal (trois étoiles). Le chef d'état-major ne supervise pas les opérations aériennes, qui est du ressort du commandant de la RAAF Air Command. Entre 1922 et 1997, le Chef d'état-major de la Force aérienne était connu sous le nom de Chief of the Air Staff, une attribution similaire à celui d'un président du conseil d'administration. Avant le CAS, l'Air Board était auparavant responsable de la direction de la RAAF. L'air marshal Richard Williams, qui est considéré comme le « père de la RAAF », est le premier chef d'état-major de la Force aérienne. En 1976, l'Air Board est dissoute et le chef d'état-major de la force aérienne s'est vu confier la responsabilité du commandement de la RAAF. (fr)
