About this report
Australia’s 2026 Defence Industry Development Strategy changes the function of defence industrial policy. Rather than treating industry support as a general preference for domestic participation, the strategy differentiates between capabilities that government intends to grow, guide, monitor or leave to normal market conditions.
This framework affects how procurement demand is signalled, where grants and workforce measures are concentrated, which industrial functions must be located in Australia, and how foreign suppliers can participate.
