Nominations are encouraged from candidates who have experience and qualifications in one or more of the following areas:

The Defence Teaming Centre (DTC) develops and promotes Australia’s defence industry to meet the needs of the sector through targeted programs and introductions.  The Board therefore requires individuals who are actively employed in the defence sector, whether employed by a Prime Defence contractor or SME; and who are passionate about seeing the growth of Australia’s defence industry.
