About Henderson Alliance
The Henderson Alliance is a not-for-profit member organisation dedicated to supporting Australian SMEs operating in defence, maritime, and advanced manufacturing industries. Based in Western Australia, the Alliance plays a critical role in promoting collaboration, capability development, and engagement between industry, government, and Defence Primes.
Through networking, advocacy, and capability-building programs, the Henderson Alliance works to ensure that local businesses are prepared to participate in major defence projects and global supply chains. The Alliance champions the capabilities of Western Australian industry and supports members in becoming defence-ready and competitive at both national and international levels.
What They Do
Advocacy and Representation
The Henderson Alliance advocates on behalf of its members to ensure small and medium enterprises have a strong voice in defence and industry policy discussions. The Alliance collaborates with government bodies, Defence Primes, and industry leaders to promote greater participation by Australian companies in defence supply chains and major projects.
Networking and Collaboration
Through regular networking events, industry briefings, and forums, the Alliance provides members with opportunities to connect directly with Defence representatives, Primes, and other key stakeholders. These engagements foster collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and the formation of partnerships that enable SMEs to participate more effectively in complex defence programs.
Capability Development
The Henderson Alliance helps member companies enhance their readiness for defence and major project participation. They provide workshops, mentoring, and programs focused on compliance, quality assurance, and business improvement — ensuring that Australian SMEs meet the high standards expected within the defence supply chain.
Information and Resources
Members gain access to curated industry information, tender opportunities, and policy updates relevant to the defence and maritime sectors. The Alliance also promotes member capabilities through its online platform and partnerships with industry bodies, creating visibility and connection within the broader defence ecosystem.
Collaboration for Growth
At its core, the Henderson Alliance is about collaboration. By bringing together like-minded companies that share a commitment to Australia’s sovereign industrial capability, the Alliance creates a platform for collective growth, innovation, and resilience.
