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.

Resources

The total expenses for the DMO in 2005–06 were $7,592m, including $60m to provide policy advice and management services to the Government.

In June 2006, the DMO had 6,416 personnel, comprising 4,952 civilians and 1,464 military in approximately 50 locations throughout Australia and overseas.1

With over $60 billion in projects under management, the DMO is one of the biggest contracting organisations in the country. It is involved in many of the largest and most demanding projects in Australia. If the DMO were a private business, it would be among the largest on the Australian Stock Exchange.
