Since the partnership began in June 2023, we have delivered integrated, large-scale support for Defence, covering the repair and maintenance of some of Australia’s most advanced equipment, including tanks, surveillance systems, marine craft, light armoured vehicles, and protected mobility vehicles, alongside the operation of a 24/7 nationwide vehicle and equipment recovery service.
The Defence Maintenance Contract team has also demonstrated significant surge capability to ensure operational readiness for international exercises such as Talisman Sabre, providing scalable, reliable sustainment for the Australian Defence Force and U.S. Army critical assets and consistently maintaining asset availability above 95% during high-tempo operations.

For more than 36 years, we’ve supported Defence capability, and we remain committed to strengthening this partnership while exploring opportunities to broaden our services to meet the evolving needs of the Australian Defence Force.
