At Hanwha Defence Australia, our commitment to Australia’s future goes beyond defence projects, it’s about empowering communities and creating real employment pathways. Through partnerships, programs and purpose-led initiatives, we support people, strengthen connections and help build a stronger, more inclusive workforce.
As part of our commitment to safeguarding Australia’s future, we honour and respect the enduring culture and connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In 2023, we proudly partnered with Worimi artist Gerard Black, who created a meaningful artwork symbolising protection, wellbeing and intergenerational responsibility - values that are deeply embedded in our purpose. We are dedicated to increasing First Nations participation across our workforce, partnerships, and supply chain as we continue to strengthen relationships and create opportunities within Indigenous communities.
We are proud to support Australia’s veteran community as they transition into purposeful civilian careers. As a Platinum supporter of Soldier On, we work alongside one of Australia’s leading ex-service organisations to help current and former Australian Defence Force personnel and their families build meaningful futures beyond service. Through fundraising, awareness campaigns, and active participation in initiatives like the March On Challenge, our team is committed to supporting those who have dedicated themselves to protecting Australia.
We believe that the well- being of our people and communities is essential to our mission. At HDA, we actively contribute to a safer, stronger and more inclusive Australia by supporting community organisations, education providers and industry programs. From sponsoring cultural, sporting and educational initiatives to volunteering and partnering with local groups, we live by the belief that we are not spectators; we have the power to make a difference.
