The ANAO could assess establishment of the Defence Delivery Agency to support the delivery of the Australian Government’s future capability requirements. On 1 December 2025, the Minister for Defence and Minister for Defence Industry announced the Government’s intention to establish a new Defence Delivery Agency, led by a National Armaments Director, to strengthen the acquisition and sustainment of defence capability. The new agency will consolidate existing groups within the department – Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group, Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Group, and Naval Shipbuilding and Sustainment Group. The ANAO could provide independent assurance on the establishment and governance arrangements of the Defence Delivery Agency including oversight, planning and staffing, business risk management and performance measurement and reporting.
