From defending nations, connecting communities and sustaining fleets, our colleagues contribute to projects that matter and see their work reflected in every vessel we deliver.

Australia’s shipbuilding industry is growing and we're delivering advanced vessels for the Navy, Border Force and Army. Under the Strategic Shipbuilding Agreement, we are leading a new era of continuous shipbuilding in Western Australia, strengthening sovereign capabilities and building new opportunities that will see programs delivered for the next few decades.
