The Defence Connect Australian Defence Industry Awards was created to reflect the comprehensive role of the defence industry as a fundamental input to Australia’s capability.

The 2020 sell-out, four-state roadshow event plus live stream to all of Australia celebrated the achievements and excellence of the industry’s most successful professionals and businesses. This year, the black-tie gala event will bring together leaders to celebrate the industry’s night of nights in Canberra — and you’re invited to attend!

Recognising people and businesses, rather than products and platforms, the Australian Defence Industry Awards universally acknowledges all defence industry stakeholders — from primes, SMEs, academic institutions and associations through to high-performing individuals such as defence executives, Indigenous and female leaders, students, scientists, technicians and academics.

The awards are open to all businesses operating in Australia supporting the defence supply chain and have become a coveted accolade for organisations and professionals seeking to forge their role in the defence industry.

Be a part of this groundbreaking initiative and put your peers, colleagues or yourself forward for these coveted accolades.
