Partners in Defence.
Built on Country.
Indigenous Defence Services is a trusted service provider to Australia's defence sector — delivering technology, training, protective security and Traditional Owner engagement with Indigenous Australians at the core.
Our People. Our Capability. Our Future.
Indigenous Defence Services exists to strengthen Australia's sovereign defence industry — by seeking and scaling new technologies, and by ensuring Indigenous Australians take their place in defending the nation.
We work at the intersection of cutting-edge capability and 65,000 years of connection to Country, aligned with the 2026 National Defence Strategy and the Western Australian Defence and Defence Industry Strategy.

“We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.”
