    Implementation and Governance

    Establishment of the South Australian Defence Industry Workforce and Skills Group

    A continued strong partnership between and investment from the Commonwealth and South Australian governments will be required to drive and coordinate delivery of the programs outlined in this Report. Governments will need to work closely with industry, unions, and the education and training sector.

    To support coordination and implementation of the Report, the South Australian Defence Industry Workforce and Skills Group will be established to:

    • develop a program of work, showing interdependencies and milestones to enable monitoring of progress and reporting of implementation by responsible agencies
    • coordinate engagement with industry, unions, and the education and training sector; engagement across government agencies leading program implementation; and ongoing engagement with external stakeholders
    • ensure diversity is a key feature embedded in the program and relevant initiatives
    • monitor, track and report on outcomes under the Report and enable continued alignment of initiatives and the overall program with industry requirements
    • propose updates to the Report to align workforce and skills initiatives with defence priorities, including the need to develop future interventions to respond to workforce data and industry needs
    • propose reviews of initiatives to implementing agencies to achieve outcomes of the enduring Action Plan.

    The Workforce and Skills Group will be led by the South Australian Department for Industry, Innovation and Science and the Australian Department of Defence.

    The Group will conduct regular reviews of demand and supply profiles and key initiatives to ensure they continue to meet the Defence industry workforce needs into the future.
