Australia’s Defence readiness depends on more than platforms and assets. It requires resilient infrastructure, secure energy systems, integrated logistics, protected digital environments, and workforce facilities that can sustain operations under increasing tempo and complexity.

As the strategic environment across the Indo-Pacific continues to evolve, Defence organisations face growing pressure to ensure their infrastructure and support systems are not only fit for purpose today but adaptable for future operational demands. Ongoing investment in bases, energy resilience, sustainment, and digital enablement reflects a national focus on strengthening preparedness and force readiness.

The Defence Infrastructure & Operational Readiness Summit will bring together senior Defence leaders from Australia and across the Indo-Pacific responsible for delivering, operating, and sustaining the critical systems that underpin operational capability. This high-level forum will examine how to translate infrastructure investment into real readiness outcomes.

The 2026 Summit will serve as a key meeting point for leaders driving infrastructure modernisation, energy security, logistics integration, and digital resilience. Discussions will explore the practical steps required to align infrastructure, energy, security, sustainment, and digital systems to strengthen Defence performance in a fast-moving regional environment.
