Defence and National Security

Advice and support for companies strengthening Australia’s sovereign industrial capability and national resilience.

Amidst escalating regional competition, rapid technological disruption, and a renewed emphasis on sovereign industrial capability, Australia’s defence and national security ecosystem must deliver greater resilience, agility, and self-reliance.

At Auscorporate, we advise organisations at the heart of this mission, including innovative SMEs, Defence suppliers, cyber-security specialists, and more. Our goal is to help Australian businesses develop the financial strength, governance maturity, and strategic clarity necessary to deliver outcomes that enhance national resilience.

With deep experience in the Defence sector, we possess a practical understanding of how defence and technology companies operate, from commercial governance and cost modelling to capital strategy and risk oversight.
