The catalogue features information on support services available to Australian defence industry sector, including Defence Export Controls, the Australian Defence Export Office, Centre for Defence Industry Capability, Team Defence Australia, Export Finance Australia and Austrade, to maximise export opportunities.

Minister Price said, "Small businesses from each Australian state and territory are represented in the catalogue, highlighting the strength of Australia’s defence industry sector and the Morrison government’s investment to grow innovative defence industry across the country."

As in previous editions, the catalogue also includes select surplus Australian Defence Force equipment and platforms that will shortly be retired from service. These platforms are available to Australia’s international partners on a government-to-government and commercial-to-government sales transfer basis.

"The 2020 catalogue also offers advice and support services. This support is part of the Morrison government’s $1.6 billion investment in further building the capacity and capability of Australia’s defence industry and innovation sector," Minister Price said.

All transfers of ex-ADF equipment to foreign governments is subject to a rigorous approval process, independent from the Australian Defence Export Office.

The role of the Australian Military Sales (AMS) team is to support Australian sovereign capability and military sales programs through the planning and execution of international government-to-government transfer of:

  • Australian Defence Organisation materiel;
  • Australian-origin sensitive technology; and
  • Products and services of Australian defence industry.

AMS seeks expressions of interest from foreign governments for consideration for government-to-government transfers.

The 2020 edition provides information on surplus ADF equipment for sale across the maritime, land and aerospace domains to foreign government customers, as well as showcasing 170 Australian defence industry companies with world-leading products and services.
