Frequenty Asked Questions
Are there any compliance requirements such as insurances and ISO certifications?
Professional Indemnity Insurance of $10m and Public Liability Insurance of $20m is required for any businesses working in the Defence sector.
Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) membership, AGSVA security clearances, and certain ISO qualifications open your organisation to more Defence opportunities.
Not having these qualifications does not exclude you from the BPN, and we are here to provide support for your company to attain these certifications as we build our business together.
Is the BPN and exclusive arrangement are there any restrictive agreements?
No, the BPN is a pre-vetted collaboration hub purely aimed at encouraging industry alignment and communication to meet the dynamic needs of the Defence sector.
Will my organisation's participation in the BPN be publicly announced?
No. Participation in the BPN remains confidential unless an organisation chooses to promote its involvement. We respect the independence and sovereignty of our members and leave any public announcement entirely at the discretion of each participating organisation.
