About Lesson

Who can apply for membership?

DISP membership is open to any Australian business looking to become part of the Defence industry supply chain.

In some instances, depending on the type of work an entity will undertake with Defence or any contractual requirements, Defence will mandate DISP membership. While membership is not required in all circumstances, it is highly recommended for businesses currently working on Defence projects or for those seeking to partner with Defence.

The DISP has four membership levels that can be tailored to suit an organisation’s needs.

What type of entities cannot apply for DISP membership? 

An overseas entity, such as a company, cannot be a DISP member.

Foreign companies can, however, still pursue opportunities to work with Defence on Australian classified contracts if certain conditions are met.

Firstly the country from where the foreign company originates must be a party to an SIA with Defence.

Additionally, if an SIA is in place and the foreign company’s security practices and clearances are verified. 

Foreign Owned Australian Entities

Australian entities with foreign ownership may still apply; however, they will be subject to a Foreign Ownership, Control & Influence (FOCI) review.
