Wo is not actually rank but an appointment.

Sergeant Major is NOT a rank it is an appoinment.
A Warrant Officer class 2 (WO2) is a rank next above Sergeant. A WO2 can be posted as a Company Sergeant Major,(CSM) Troop Sergeant major(TSM) depending on the Corps Infantry Artillery Armoured etc.

A Warrant Officer Class 1 again is a rank, next up from WO2.
A WO1 can be posted as a Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) Battery Sergeant Major (BSM) {Artillery}

The next rank above WO1 is the first commisioned rank of 2nd Lieutenant

The RSM is the most feared and respected position in the Australian army as far as all other ranks (ORs) are concerned> And I might add, many of the lower ranked commissioned officers.
