Our latest magazine explores exciting and surprising STEM careers in Defence
Careers with STEM: Defence Issue 3 is here!
Whether you’re working with the Australian Defence Force or an Australian Public Service agency like the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), STEM skills can take you down a career path you may never have imagined.
Combine maths & physics skills with Defence, for example, and you could become a technical intelligence analyst or a geospatial analyst helping defend Australia.
Or if you love technology, you could do anything from researching robotics to testing the latest submarines.

Into engineering? You could be working on Navy helicopter engines, or running sims on future weapons systems.
In each section of Careers with STEM: Defence you’ll find dream roles, stories of people working in the many different groups that fall under Defence, learn what study or training you’ll need and hear more about the rewarding work you could be doing.
Along with the Army, Air Force and Navy, we explore the other Defence agencies you could work for including the Defence Science & Technology Group, Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO), Australian Geospatial Intelligence Organisation (AGO), or Defence Digital Group (DDG).
