Key procurement sectors
Australia procurement landscape
CASG manages one of the largest defense investment programs in the Indo-Pacific region. The AUKUS nuclear-submarine pathway, through which Australia will acquire nuclear-powered submarines with technology from the United States and United Kingdom, represents one of the most consequential and long-duration defense procurement programs in Australian history, with planning extending across multiple decades. Alongside AUKUS, the Hunter-class frigate program and a range of aerospace, land, and cyber capability projects populate a multi-decade Integrated Investment Program. Australian Industry Capability requirements on major platform programs mandate meaningful participation by Australian companies in contract delivery, which shapes how prime contractors structure their supply chains. Suppliers engage through a combination of AusTender for formal procurement notices and the Defence Industry portal for capability briefings and industry engagement events.
