A New Era For Defence: Risk, Deterrence, And A Whole-Of-Nation Response
Conference

We are honoured to have Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton confirmed to keynote the event, which centres around one of his key priorities of communicating the message that national resilience / homeland defence needs a whole of society approach.  The interest is in what needs to happen to take a country from a peacetime footing into a place of readiness for prolonged conflict.

Themes for the day are:

  • Assessing Risks and Threats – for what do we need to be prepared, and how do we need to be positioned to ensure the impact is contained and short-lived? 
  • Deterrence in a Contested World – choice, credibility and endurance across all domains
  • Whole-of-Nation Response to Resilience – moving from preparedness as policy to preparedness as practice
