Enabling Members to do Better Business in Defence
 
 
 
Hi Juanita,

We are looking forward to catching up with many of our members next week in Sydney at the Indo Pacific 2022. For Victorian SMEs in particular, who have not been able to attend such shows in a long time, this is a great opportunity to network and meet with all of the Primes.

See full list of exhibitors.

Opportunities for SMEs in the defence industry will continue to grow and we are here to help and advocate for our members. We would also like to hear from you if you have any news or stories about your business that may be of interest to other businesses and organisations.

We look forward to hearing from you.
