GWEOMD partners with domestic and international industry to deliver materiel capability to Defence, managing a multi-billion-dollar portfolio of complex, high-profile acquisitions and sustainment activities to support the ADF.

Our people are capable, innovative, committed and diverse. We support an inclusive culture that emphasises respect and collaboration.
In GWEOMD, you will enjoy experiences and opportunities that, as an APS employee, you simply would not get with any other organisation. Other benefits include:

15.4% superannuation Access to personalised professional development pathways, including opportunities for Defence-funded post-graduate study. Additional leave days between Christmas and New Year. Focus on work/life balance. Salary sacrifice opportunities.
