Defence Seaworthiness Symposium

The Office of the Defence Seaworthiness Regulator (ODSwR) is hosting the second annual Defence Seaworthiness Symposium on 17 September 2020. This year, we are delivering a predominantly virtual event with limited ability to attend in-person at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra.

Attend the symposium to learn more about the Defence Seaworthiness Management System (DSwMS) and see where it’s already making a difference across Defence. You will hear from Defence leaders, seaworthiness practitioners and an industry organisation focused on this year’s theme – ‘DSwMS: Where has it made a difference?’
