NT Defence Week

NT Defence Week is the Northern Territory Government’s flagship annual program showcasing the Territory’s strategic role in Australia’s defence posture and Indo-Pacific engagement. Across a packed week of events, the program brings together Defence, industry, government and international partners for briefings, forums, tours and networking to showcase capability, investment opportunities and regional collaboration. The week is designed to strengthen relationships, support industry growth and reinforce the NT’s position as a critical enabler of national defence and resilience.

NT Defence Week 2026 will profile the Northern Territory’s critical role in Australia’s Defence and national security. This year’s theme, “Northern Capability, National Defence” highlights how the Territory’s strategic location, infrastructure, and industry capability strengthen the nation’s defence posture and long-term resilience.
