Defence & Security

The APP Group is proud to support the Department of Defence in its mission to advance Australia’s security and prosperity.

We recognise that there is no task more critical for Government than safeguarding the security, interests and livelihoods of its people. 

With a rich history of over 30 years collaborating with the Department of Defence, The APP Group stands among the select eight companies trusted with the responsibility of developing and delivering large-scale Capital Facility Infrastructure projects that bolster essential military capabilities. Today, our Defence business offers integrated services spanning the entire asset capital investment lifecycle to the Department of Defence, National Security organisations, and various government agencies.

The APP Group combines expert advice with the latest industry insights to ensure the delivery of Defence capability and infrastructure that play a pivotal role in national security. Leveraging the strength of our multidisciplinary consultant network, we offer expertise across the entire Defence Capability Lifecycle, ranging from initial strategy and planning, through project delivery and asset management, to eventual decommissioning and disposal. Our approach, which is not tied to any specific design, enables us to assemble the most suitable consultant teams, ultimately leading to superior quality outcomes and value for money.

The APP Group delivers a broad range of professional services to Defence through our appointments on the following panels:

• Defence Infrastructure, Project Management & Contract Administration 
• Property Acquisitions & Disposals
• Project Delivery Services (shortlisted RFT)
• Defence Support Services
• Defence ICT Provider Arrangement 
• Digital Transformation Agency Software and ERP Marketplace Panel
• Digital Transformation Agency Digital Marketplace
• Digital Transformation Agency Cloud Marketplace

In November 2023, The APP Group acquired Canberra-based Defence consultancy, Terra Schwartz. The acquisition enhances and diversifies The APP Group’s already established Defence business by strengthening its end-to-end procurement, commercial, ICT, workforce and contract management capabilities for complex Defence and federal government agency engagements.

At The APP Group, we deeply value the skills, dedication, and experience that veterans bring to our workforce. We are committed to providing a supportive environment that recognises the unique contributions of military personnel and fosters growth and success in civilian careers. We understand that building a capability to support veterans in their civilian careers takes time and effort. It is this effort that drives our commitment to be a Veteran Friendly Employer.
