Annual Report 2024
Now in its 17th year of operation, DMTC continues to successfully harmonise the cultures, motivations and performance metrics of our government customers, industrial partners and the research sector. Applying our mantra of “structural flexibility” to ensure we remain aligned with the constantly evolving priorities and structures in the sector also remains a key focus for us.
DMTC’s purpose can be summarised as using collaboration as a multiplying, compounding force to enhance industrial pathways for the defence and national security sectors.
The fundamental reshaping of defence strategy that has occurred over the course of the last two years, the like of which our country has not seen in generations, demands that delivery and support organisations take steps to realign to this overarching purpose and plan.
For DMTC, whose activities are tested and regularly refreshed against our understanding of contemporary government priorities and the industrial landscape, this is not new for us. In fact, it’s something that we are accustomed to, and well positioned to do.
I am reassured that our structural and functional independence from both government and industry, while remaining close enough to be relevant and positioned to respond quickly to demands, will persist as a highly valued and foundational element of DMTC’s utility to Defence and national security customers. This role is a privilege and comes with great responsibility, and is not one that we take lightly.
The information assembled in this Report is, as always, only a highlights reel in regard to the many and extraordinary achievements of our people and our project teams across the reporting period.
I commend the Report to you.
Mark Hodge – CEO, DMTC
