Have your say on the strategic direction of national security science and technology.

DSTO is leading the development of a new policy and program management framework for achieving a whole-of-government approach to national security science and technology (S&T).

The policy will articulate the Government’s strategic direction for national security S&T over the next decade, and will provide the mechanisms to deliver a coordinated National Security S&T Program.

DSTO has produced a consultation paper - A policy and program for invigorating S&Tfor national security - to elicit the views of stakeholders from all sectors of Australia’s national security S&T community in order to develop a national security S&T policy and program that improves the coordination, delivery and application of S&T to addressing Australia’s national security challenges now and in the future.

Have your say

We encourage your views and feedback.

Your submission can be sent by email to or mail to Director, Science Strategy and Policy Branch, DSTO, Department of Defence, PO Box 7931, Canberra ACT 2610.

Submissions close at 5pm on Thursday 1 May.
