Management of the disposal of specialist military equipment
Please direct enquiries through our contact page.
This audit would assess the effectiveness of Defence’s management of the disposal of specialist military equipment.
At 30 June 2024, Defence reported that it manages $145.9 billion of total assets, including $88.6 billion of specialist military equipment. When one of these items is no longer suitable for or is surplus to Defence’s requirements, Defence disposes of it by either: transferring it to an Australian Government agency or another government, selling it, gifting it or destroying it. An audit would examine whether the disposal of selected equipment was conducted in accordance with Defence policy and applicable Commonwealth legislative requirements.
