Defence has convened a Project of Concern Summit in Canberra to discuss the Civil Military Air Traffic Management System (CMATS) project.

Minister for Defence Industry the Hon. Pat Conroy MP hosted senior Defence and Airservices Australia officials and industry representatives. 

The Summit brings together stakeholders to share updates and strengthen collaboration; ensuring ongoing work to deliver this important capability meets operational needs.

This Summit was an important milestone that provided representatives the opportunity to discuss the status of the remediation plan, and progress made towards achieving the agreed exit criteria since the last Project of Concern Summit in September 2025.  

The Projects of Concern process is an effective way to ensure a high quality of engagement at all levels on complex issues.
