In response to rapid changes in the global strategic environment, the Australian Government is investing a historic $270 billion in Defence spending through the 2020 Defence Strategic Update and Force Structure Plan.
A strong and capable defence industry is essential to delivering Australia’s modernised defence capabilities, and there are significant opportunities for Australian workers and businesses to be part of it.
WorkSec’s Trusted Workforce program is building an industry talent pool of skilled, security-cleared, and Defence-ready personnel to deliver Australia’s sovereign capability.
For Individuals
Over the next decade and beyond, the demand will increase for Australian workers with trade, technical and science and technology skills to build and maintain fleets of new ships, submarines, armoured vehicles, infrastructure and facilities.
These skills will also contribute to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, cyber and other electronic and information based capabilities. Australian design, construction, sustainment and support capabilities will all be critical.
WorkSec provides a pathway for skilled workers into Defence and Defence Industry through its Trusted Workforce program.

Security Clearances
Under the Australian Government Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF), personnel that need ongoing access to security classified resources must hold a security clearance at the appropriate level.
Many Defence Industry jobs require applicants to hold a security clearance to assure the integrity of the position’s occupant.
