Helping Australian businesses become trusted Defence suppliers.

AusWest Defence Security helps small and medium businesses get DISP ready, manage personnel security and present themselves with confidence to Defence and the primes.

Someone who sits beside your business, not another big consultancy.

Many businesses have the skills and expertise Defence needs but are new to working in the Defence sector. We help you understand Defence requirements and prepare for opportunities, guiding you through the process one step at a time.

Veteran owned and run. We know how Defence works from the inside.

If you need specialist cyber, legal or physical security help, we bring in people we trust.
