Rosebank Engineering

15 January 2007

Rosebank Engineering has become the first small to medium enterprise (SME) to join the Department of Defence’s Skilling Australia’s Defence Industry (SADI) program, benefiting from changes to SADI policy and application methods designed to facilitate the increased involvement of SMEs and open up the program to companies aspiring to bid into future Defence contracts, or who are on the DMO Support Services and other Defence Support Group panels. Over the next three years, Rosebank/SADI will invest up to $171,000 in critical Project Management and Systems Engineering skills related to maintaining the F/A-18 ‘Hornet’ fleet. Canberra-based micro company, Hallmark Logistics and Engineering, has also recently signed a ‘first of type’ SADI agreement based on a new short form application and agreement specifically designed for use by very small companies wishing to conduct one-off upskilling activities in the current financial year.
