Australia will establish a new Defence Delivery Agency on July 1, 2027, consolidating the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group, the Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Group, and the Naval Shipbuilding and Sustainment Group. This reform follows the Peever Review of 2015 and aims to enhance Defence's capability development in response to changing strategic circumstances.

The Defence Strategic Review emphasizes the need for increased self-reliance and higher levels of capability. The reforms also call for improvements in governance and procurement processes to address historical inefficiencies and adapt to future challenges.
