Prime Minister Scott Morrison has pledged $108.5 million of investment over the next four years towards the Defence Industry Pathways Program.

Further to the announcement, Mr Morrison said the government would be extending Australia’s successful defence industry internships program and placing them in small to medium sized businesses within the sector.

“This is how you create a sovereign defence industry with the best people training our people, bringing those people into our industries, and ensure that they can really power up the great opportunities we have in defence industry manufacturing,” Mr Morrison said.
