Australia plans to establish military supply agency From 1 July 2027, the Australian government plans to establish a new Defense Supply Agency (DDA) within the MoD, which will transfer responsibility for the procurement and support of arms and military equipment from the procurement and support groups to arms and military equipment, guided weapons and explosives and military shipbuilding and naval support. The new department will be headed by the former head of the Australian division of Rio Tinto Kelly Parker. DDA will report directly to the Ministers of Defense and Military Industry. The organizational activity is carried out in three stages: on July 1, 2026, an interim security supply group was created by merging these groups (above); On July 1, 2027, the group will become a military supply agency as a separate legal entity; The planning of the procurement is transferred to the deputy commander of the Rishon Army, and their implementation remains in the hands of the national director for arms procurement. The DDA will manage about $35 billion of the $60 billion military budget and about 10,000 positions. The reform came against the background of a record increase in military spending - an additional 70 billion dollars over a decade - and the implementation of AUKUS.
