British Commonwealth

All of the Commonwealth Nations use the British other ranks system (except Canada)
Do any of them modify or alter their use of this system by their ground forces? I
mean do they fill all grades or do they not fill certain grades?
I believe I read somewhere that Australia is phaseing out the grade of Staff Sergeant in their ground Forces. I think this is being done to establish a new proficiency grade of
private.
In the above I mean by system two grades of jr. nco two grades of sr. nco and at least two grades of warrant officer.
