Hi there,

Hope you are well!

Victoria’s defence sector is growing rapidly, with the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) figures showing that the sector generated $2.4 billion in Gross Value Added (GVA) between 2024 and 2025, up by more than 40% since the 2020-21 period.

Against this backdrop, defence security advisory firm De Stefano & Co has opened a new office in Melbourne, marking a strategic, long-term investment in Victoria’s growing defence sector.

The attached media release explores the motivation behind the expansion, as well as De Stefano & Co’s commitment to building partnerships with government, Prime Defence contractors and key industry bodies to support a thriving sector.

Please see the attached for more information and feel free to get in touch should you require further information. 

Thank you,
