During 2005–06, the DMO's expenses for Output 1.3 totalled $59.9m and we delivered:
- procurement policy advice to Defence and the DMO and contracting advice to the rest of Defence;
- industry policy and advice to Defence and the Government; and
- corporate governance and reporting to meet Government requirements.
A major focus was on the delivery of the Defence Industry Policy Review that is expected to be delivered to the Government in late 2006. The Minister has appointed a small team under the guidance of the Minister Assisting the Minister for Defence to consult widely with stakeholders on the need for a new industry policy statement that takes account of the strategic changes in the five years since the previous major review.
