The Office of Defence Industry Support (ODIS) is the one-stop-shop for Defence industry support and guidance. The ODIS provides a seamless experience for businesses to engage with Defence and is the trusted link for Australian small and medium enterprises looking to enter or expand their footprint in the Defence industry. The ODIS also links Australian innovators and researchers to the Defence Innovation Hub and the Next Generation Technologies Fund.

ODIS can also assist you with applying for grant assistance. If your small or medium sized business is looking to invest in its defence-related capabilities, you can apply for a grant that will fund up to 50% of your costs.
