Relocation

Bathurst Stores Training Depot personnel will relocate to Orange Training Depot, 57km away, or a new leased facility in Bathurst for the support of Reserves in the region.

Regional communities

The Australian Defence Force is deeply committed to regional Australia and will continue to maintain strong, meaningful connections with communities across the country.

Recruitment and retention will remain a priority, supported by initiatives such as deploying the mobile Australian Defence Force Careers Centre to locations without a permanent facility.

The Australian Defence Force will also maintain activities associated with school outreach, participation in local events, partnerships with regional organisations, and targeted community programs.

These efforts reaffirm the Australian Defence Force's dedication to creating opportunities, supporting local communities, and maintaining a trusted presence throughout Australia’s regions.
