Overview
Primero aligns with the Australian Government’s strategic intent for Defence and the principles of the Defence Capability Policy, with our multidisciplinary engineering, procurement, construction and sustainment expertise reflecting the Defence Capability System philosophy.
Our core capabilities support the national focus on Sovereign Capability and contribute to strengthening Australia’s Sovereign Industrial Base. Primero enables the efficient delivery of Defence capability through integrated, practical solutions that support a focused and ready force.
Consistent with Defence Capability System principles, we prioritise achievability, affordability and sustainability across all phases of delivery. We work collaboratively with Defence and industry partners to support capability planning, acquisition, delivery, sustainment and disposal in line with Government strategic objectives.
Primero is well-positioned to engage across the full Capability Lifecycle, either directly or alongside Defence Primes. From early strategy and concept development through to design, delivery and sustainment, we provide flexible, scalable and mobile solutions tailored to Defence requirements.
Drawing on deep industry experience and a strong internal workforce, Primero delivers fit-for-purpose solutions that support Defence in maintaining Australia’s security, resilience and regional stability.
