**The Role**
Are you interested in capability analysis to inform strategic-level direction and advice on Defence preparedness to defend Australia and its national interests? Do you want to make a difference linked to the outcomes of the Defence Strategic Review (DSR)? Defence preparedness needs to evolve, accelerate, and be fit for purpose with the outcomes identified in the DSR and subsequent Defence assessments. As a Preparedness Management Officer you will contribute to ensuring Defence’s preparedness now and into the future.
