90-minute session | $121 incl GST | Free for DECnet Pro Members
Foundational. Unfiltered. Focused on what really matters.
This is where your Defence infrastructure journey begins.
Designed for professionals looking to break into or better navigate Australia’s Defence estate sector, this 90-minute session delivers the real-world context and clarity you need to avoid costly missteps—and start building credibility from Day One.
You’ll gain:
-
A practical overview of how the Defence Estate is governed and structured
-
Insights into key players, decision-makers, and approval pathways within the Security and Estate Group (SEG)
-
Clarity on how strategic priorities, policies and budgets actually influence what gets built—and what doesn’t
But more importantly, you’ll hear what most sessions won’t tell you:
- Why Defence is not like the private sector
- Why your business will likely need a dedicated Defence FTE
- And why so many good companies burn time and money chasing Defence work they’re not yet ready for
We’ll unpack Defence procurement language, demystify how tenders and EOI processes really work, and show you where to invest your time and effort for the best long-term results. You’ll walk away not just informed, but better prepared to engage confidently—and competitively.
