Supporting measures

This initiative will create and provide visibility of a longer-term communications and engagement strategy that articulates the vision, opportunities and activities that will have the greatest impact. Underpinned by audience segmentation, it will deliver messaging and a synchronised schedule of outreach opportunities, including a career showcase series demonstrating the diverse workforce currently in defence, integrated into a single plan for people to engage with.

Cost – $1.35 million. South Australian Government funded and delivered in partnership with the Commonwealth and industry.

Timing – Established in 2023–24 for implementation from 2024–25.

Impact – Will provide potential workers with information on how best to engage with defence industry opportunities. Diversity will be a key feature of promotion and engagement.

The Commonwealth Government’s Migration Strategy to be released late 2023 will deliver policy shifts to ensure Australia’s migration program is:

• prioritising the people we need to enhance our economic prosperity and security
• making the process simple and efficient for employers and migrants
• delivering outcomes for Australians and migrants post arrival
• restoring Australian values of fairness, integrity and inclusion.

The initial reform focus of the Migration Strategy is on the temporary skilled migration program, the student visa program, migration planning and simplifying our migration system.
