Defence Ready Seminar Series

A joint initiative between Hunter Defence, Office of Defence Industry Support (ODIS), Goal Group and Australian Industry & Defence Network NSW, the Defence Ready Seminar Series is designed to educate, prepare, grow and mature NSW businesses who are either active in, or considering, Defence as a business opportunity. The series will see 40 fully-funded places available to Hunter-based SMEs for each of the 13 training modules that make up the six month program in 2022. The aim is to help SMEs progress from being ‘Defence Interested’ to 'Defence Ready’ – with potential to become an Advanced Defence SME or an industry Supplier of Choice.
