The Albanese Labor Government is today calling for public feedback on key reforms to Defence legislation.
The Defence Act 1903, and related legislation, will be amended to better position the Australian Defence Force (ADF) as an agile, integrated, warfighting enterprise.
The proposed reforms to the legal framework will address the full range of modern military capabilities and operational domains, including cyber and space.
The reforms will help to enable and reinforce future capability in the ADF to protect the Australian community and Australia’s national interests.
Individuals and organisations now have the opportunity to provide comment and make a submission.
The Albanese Labor Government is committed to reforming defence legislation to ensure the ADF can meet the challenges of a rapidly changing strategic environment and the realities of modern competition and conflict.
