The defence industry’s event of the year
Defence Connect has created an awards program that reflects the comprehensive role of defence industry as a fundamental input to capability.
Recognising leading professionals and businesses, rather than products and platforms, the Australian Defence Industry Awards universally acknowledges all defence industry stakeholders – from our 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 will be a coveted accolade for both individuals and businesses seeking to forge their role in the defence industry. For a full list of categories click here; to nominate yourself, your business or a colleague click here.
The Australian Defence Industry Awards will quickly become the new benchmark for excellence for the defence industry.
The awards celebrate the best of the best in Australia’s defence industry and recognise the outstanding contribution of professionals and businesses working within the defence industry across 30+ categories.

WHY ENTER
For the first time in Australia, Defence Connect has created an awards program that reflects the comprehensive role of defence industry as a fundamental input to capability.
Recognising leading professionals and businesses, rather than products and platforms, the Australian Defence Industry Awards universally acknowledges all defence industry stakeholders – from our 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. Nominate NOW to be a part of this ground breaking initiative and put your peers, colleagues or yourself forward for these coveted accolades.
For organisations, securing an Australian Defence Industry award will set you apart when attracting and retaining the best talent, while strengthening your position when winning defence projects or contracts. For individuals, recognition will underpin career advancement.
With a judging panel including ex senior ADF leaders, academics, business executives, entrepreneurs and innovators, an Australian Defence Industry Award is peer-reviewed recognition of your capabilities in defence and passion for driving the industry forward.
With the defence industry now established as a fundamental input to capability, an Australian Defence Industry Award reaffirms the role of your organisation, or you personally, in advancing defence industry and capability building.
