Currently in its ninth edition, the Catalogue highlights export-ready products and services from more than 336 companies across every state and territory in Australia; and is available in hard copy, online and via the mobile app. Submissions for the 2026 edition of the Australian Defence Export Catalogue can be lodged via the online web portal until 23:59 AEDT, 16 January 2026. All proposed exports of military and dual use goods will be assessed under Australian export controls legislation. Information on eligibility criteria and the submission process can be found by visiting the Australian Defence Export Catalogue page on the Defence website. Minister for Defence Industry Pat Conroy said: “Exports are a key priority in the Albanese Government’s Defence Industry Development Strategy. Exporting Australia’s leading defence technology to international markets supports Australian jobs and strengthens our sovereign defence industrial base. The Australian Defence Export Catalogue helps to grow Australia’s defence industry by supporting the long-term viability of domestic production lines through access to new markets. The Government is committed to strengthening Australia’s defence industrial base so it can meet the strategic challenges our nation faces now and in the future.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Kym Bergmann at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Group Sales Director Simon Hadfield at [email protected]
