Naval Shipbuilding Industry Briefing

You are invited to attend a Naval Shipbuilding industry briefing in Cairns on the 15th May. Department of Defence is encouraging industry to come along to find out more about opportunities in the Frigate and Offshore Patrol Vessel Programs.

The briefing will include:

An opening address from the Hon Warren Entsch MP, Federal Member for Leichhardt.
Information on the Future Frigate and Offshore Patrol Vessel Programs followed by a question and answer session presented by Mr Brian Hickey, Director Naval Ship Building.
Information on the Centre for Defence Industry Capability (CDIC) and the Defence Industry Policy agenda and programs. This will include how industry can get involved in opportunities over the life of the shipbuilding programs.
Panel discussion on support for businesses in Cairns

The Government is committed to maximising the opportunities for Australian industry to participate in the Government’s national naval shipbuilding endeavour that will see approx $90 billion invested over the coming decades . The Department of Defence hosted a number for Naval Shipbuilding industry briefings in Australian capital cities in late 2016 and will be hosting briefings in regional cities in April and May 2017.
