Overview of Victorian Government defence industry support

The defence sector is a priority industry for Victoria. The Victorian Government seeks to grow and strengthen the industry with a focus on:

• small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
• research and development (R&D) capabilities
• highly skilled engineering workforce.

The Victorian Government provides ongoing support for a range of key initiatives including:

• industry development programs
• subsidised attendance at major trade shows
• financial support.

These initiatives ensure that the state’s defence sector capabilities continue to grow.
