**About our Team**
Defence’s primary mission is to protect Australia and its national interests, promote security and stability in the world and support the Australian community as directed by the Government. SDD is one of three branches within SEG that provide essential, on-the-ground services and support to Defence personnel around Australia. We enable Defence personnel to achieve their mission through delivery of excellent services on Defence Bases and we also play a role in helping the Government achieve its strategic objectives. One of the best things about our team is the variety of our work; every day is different, with new challenges to solve and interesting work crossing our desks.

Our team delivers:

- Customer Service: We deliver services from cleaning to catering, construction to gardening, security to aircraft refuelling and lots more. We support every Defence base and site across Australia and strive for excellence in Service Delivery.
- Crisis response: Crises happen when you least expect - Our response to cyclones, floods, bushfires and the occasional global pandemic must be managed effectively to maintain the integrity of the Estate.
- Collaboration: To achieve the level of service delivery needed, we work collaboratively with our Defence colleagues and industry partners.
- Innovation: Our team works with representatives from industry to foster creativity and explore ideas that can improve service delivery for Defence bases.
