Last week at the Canberra Space Industry Cooperative Breakfast, we had a lovely discussion about the important role of workforce diversity in driving innovation within Australia's space sector and enhancing manufacturing capabilities #DefenceIndustry

To the JCG workforce, thank you for your unwavering support and dedication over the past year, and in particular, the past 5 months🙏 As the holiday season approaches, take the time to rest, recharge, and reconnect with loved ones. Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season.

Australia stands united with our #CSpO partners. Celebrating 10 years of collaboration, we are committed to upholding a peaceful, stable, and sustainable space environment. Together, we address shared challenges and opportunities in a rapidly evolving domain.

Recently, I met with some NATO colleagues to explore potential collaboration and partnership opportunities. Defence is committed to building strong relationships with allies and partners to tackle security challenges together. #YourADF

I had the privilege of joining the Singapore Army Servicewomen Roundtable to share insights on leadership, diversity, and overcoming challenges. What a great opportunity to discuss building and shaping a stronger force through inclusion and collaboration. #WomenInDefence

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. In JCG, we are committed to providing a safe & supportive workplace where violence against women is not tolerated in any form. Together we can create a safe & respectful environment for all #IDEVW

Had an inspiring visit to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum at Washington, DC. Exploring the stories behind aviation & space innovation reminds us of the importance of collaboration.    Proud to represent #Australia & strengthen our ties with the US in these critical domains.

Honoured to chat with the #WomenInLeadership Group at the Australian Embassy in the US. Reflecting on nearly four decades in Defence, I’m proud of how far female leadership has come in #YourADF. Representation matters, because you can’t be what you can’t see.

A busy but very special week in the HQ. A privilege for the CWO and I to attend Remembrance Day at the AWM, and then speak to J/SNCO’s at the CDF Leadership Forum about Ethical Leadership. Then finish off with the CIO discussing key opportunities at the MilCIS conference.

What an incredible day at MilCIS24! I had the privilege of joining Chief Information Officer, Chris Crozier, on a panel discussing the vital role that JCG and DDG play in delivering secure, resilient and available space and cyber capabilities for #YourADF.

The #ADFCyberChallenge kicks off today🖱️👨🏻‍💻 Participants from #YourADF, #DefenceIndustry, academia and allies will engage in a thrilling online capture-the-flag event. #CyberResillience #SmartCities #FutureTech

Many parts of JCG involve physical activity, especially in Logistics. This week’s focus on Musculoskeletal Injuries (MSKIs) as part of National #SafeWorkMonth is especially relevant to us. I encourage you to learn about what MSKIs are and how to prevent them #safetyisourbusiness

October is National #SafeWorkMonth   This year’s theme, ‘Safety is everyone’s business,’ encourages us to discuss important safety matters in our direct working environment and ensure that we are across the fundamentals of risk management.   #safetyisourbusiness

The #Defenceblooddrive is still live and we are already seeing some amazing results. Many of our own in JCG are continuing to lead the way including our Head of Joint Capabilities, RADM David Mann ����🩸 #lifebloodau

Psychosocial hazards are just as important to identify as their physical counterparts. This week as part of National #SafeWorkMonth we’re encouraging our people to use the tools and networks available to help manage psychosocial hazards. #safetyisourbusiness

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, I encourage everyone to look after their own mental health and check in on your friends, families and colleagues. We all need to work together to reduce the stigma and encourage people to seek help for their mental health and wellbeing.

#WorldSpaceWeek recognises the important role space plays in our everyday life. The space domain is essential to the integrated force - #YourADF relies on secure access to space systems and satellites for intelligence, communication and navigation.

It was a pleasure to host General Sir Jim Hockenhull, Commander UK 🇬🇧 Strategic Command. A wonderful opportunity to discuss challenges and opportunities in Logistics and Cyber.
