New export catalogue to support Defence industry

The Federal Government is continuing to back the defence industry, with the 2025 Australian Defence Export Catalogue featuring a record number of businesses showcasing their export-ready products.

The flagship publication, which this year features 336 businesses, is a conduit for foreign governments to engage directly with the local defence industry, making it a vital source of opportunity for Australian companies to grow their exports.

“The Albanese Government continues to work with the defence industry to help them grow their exports, which in turn provides critical support that enables them to employ more Australians,” said minister for Defence Industry and Capability Delivery, the Hon Pat Conroy MP.

“It is pleasing to see an abundance of Australian industry on the world stage, which will create jobs and boost our presence in global supply chains.”

This is in line with the Federal Government’s commitment to driving global export opportunities for the Australian defence industry and boosting Australian global supply chains. This includes utilising the Australian Defence Export Catalogue, as well as the Global Supply Chain program and through recent reforms to export controls, supported by the Team Australia initiative. 

The Government’s reforms to export controls has seen Australian industry gain access to an export licence-free environment with our AUKUS partners. This has helped unlock billions of dollars of investment and cutting red tape to drive defence trade with the United Kingdom and the United States.

Under the Albanese Government, the Global Supply Chain program has almost doubled from seven to 13 participating primes, which have collectively awarded over 2610 contracts to 283 Australian suppliers totalling over $2.07 billion.

Last year, the Team Defence Australia initiative led delegations to 10 international trade shows, providing opportunities for 399 Australian companies to showcase their capabilities. These companies include: 

• SPEE3D has secured the sale of their deployable 3D printers including cell training, support and powder valued at over $10 million.
• BlueRoom Simulations which is now exporting their BlueRoom Mixed Reality Simulator to Europe with $1.5 million in sales expected by the end of 2025.
• REDARC Defence & Space which Australia in partnership with MARL International Limited is now a key supplier of LED lights to BAE Systems Australia.

All exports of controlled goods and technology are subject to an independent and rigorous assessment process in accordance with Australia’s Defence Export Control legislation.
