Department of Defence - Defence Materiel Organisation (Business Profile)
Big projects
DMO is involved in many of the largest and most demanding projects in Australia. The Australian Defence Force relies on DMO to provide its equipment on time, on budget and to the required levels of quality and safety.
With over 200 major projects, 200 minor projects and over 7000 people working in over 50 locations in Australia and overseas there is a huge variety of fascinating work.
Big budgets
DMO is a civilian group within the Department of Defence. If the DMO were a private company it would be one of the largest on the Australian Stock Exchange. The DMO has an annual budget of over $9.6 billion to acquire and sustain military equipment and services. In addition, DMO manages in excess of $60 billion worth of capital equipment projects and systems such as the ANZAC Class ships.
Big opportunities
DMO works in partnership with Defence industry and has a modern commercial work environment. Graduates in accounting and financial management have the opportunity to work on the financial reform agenda in one of the largest organisations in Australia. You could also be involved in financial management of complex billion dollar projects.
The Materiel Graduate Scheme (MGS) provides you with the opportunity to use the skills you have acquired at university, while building on your personal learning and experiences to develop into a highly regarded professional. DMO is committed to the professional development of its people and all relevant development is centrally funded by the organisation.
Graduates in accounting and financial management are actively encouraged to obtain their professional qualification within a very short period following the 18 month Graduate Program. The DMO Institute, a virtual corporate university, offers learning and development from practitioner through to postgraduate level in all key DMO disciplines.
