Overview

This Chapter provides an overview of the DMO, including the purpose and vision of the organisation, as well as opportunities and challenges. The chapter includes a review of the year by the Chief Executive Officer.

Purpose and Vision

The DMO equips and sustains the ADF. Its goals are to deliver capability and sustainment on time, on budget and to the required capability, safety and quality; and to become more businesslike, accountable and outcome driven.

The DMO's vision is to be Australia's premier program management and engineering services organisation.

The DMO aims to:

  • continue improving the delivery of acquisition and sustainment requirements, to meet the operational demands of the ADF;
  • substantially lift outputs with a minimal increase in resources;
  • continue implementation of a major change program, to make the DMO more outcome-focused and businesslike;
  • strengthen partnerships with Australian industry, enhance the national skills base and build industry's capacity to support Defence through a careful mix of competitive tendering and appropriately negotiated contracts; and
  • enhance the depth and breadth of skills and expertise in the DMO workforce.
