The Officer Cadet School, Portsea (OCS Portsea) was an officer training establishment of the Australian Army. Established at Portsea in Victoria, Australia, in 1951 to provide training to officer cadets prior to commissioning, for many years OCS provided the Australian Regular Army with the bulk of its junior officers. However, following a review of military training establishments in Australia in the mid-1980s, the school was eventually closed in 1985, as was the Women's Officer Training Wing at Georges Heights, New South Wales. The Royal Military College, Duntroon, became the sole general service officer training institute in the Australian Army, with all Regular Army officers serving in combat, combat support or service support Corps required to attend Duntroon to be commissioned.
