Chief of Joint Capabilities

Military camera teams from @NZDefenceForce and @DefenceAust have trained side-by-side at Waiouru as part of Exercise SANGRO 2025. It is great to see our people developing camera team tactics, techniques and sharpening public affairs skills ahead of @TalismanSabre.

Great to be at the Australian Space Summit in Sydney today, joining a fireside chat on how Defence is shaping Australia’s future in space. Exciting conversations about capability, collaboration and what’s next for #SpacePower. #AusSpaceSummit @DefenceAustralia

Thank you to #JLC for supporting the move of the M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. Logistics isn’t everything, but everything without logistics is nothing. #YourADF

I had the privilege of speaking at the 3rd Digital Defence Symposium. Your Cyber Domain is always on, and we work together with allies and partners to secure our common digital frontiers.

Honoured to speak at @RSIS_NTU on Australia’s approach to the challenges and risks in space and cyber. Emerging tech is now an everyday reality in conflict – and Defence must be ready. Multi-domain threats demand collective actions, resilient networks, and empowered people.

A proud moment at #TalismanSabre25 – Defence successfully operated a KC-30A VIP flight using Sustainable Aviation Fuel🌱. We are committed to fuel security, climate resilience, and innovation – proving we can adopt next-gen energy solutions without compromising capability.

I attended the Global Air and Space Chiefs Conference in the UK this week. The theme – Integrated Space Power in the Evolving Battlespace strongly aligned with Australia’s view of space as an operational domain. In this era, space power is national power! #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs

Thrilled to be in the UK and have the opportunity to meet with some of my Space Chief counterparts on how we can keep space safe and secure for all. #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇳🇿 🇺🇸

The first major cyber worm attack in 1988 brought 10% of the computers connected to the internet to a halt. Today, cyber threats are more complex, and #YourADF must be more agile than ever. Our cyber operators are the quiet professionals safeguarding your digital world. 🖥️🖱️

This #NAIDOCWeek, we reflect on the strength and resilience of First Nations peoples. True support comes from listening, learning, and standing alongside #YourADF First Nations peoples, not in front. #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

#NAIDOCWeek is a time for celebration, but also a moment to reflect and learn. It’s a chance for all of us to pause and recognise the contribution and culture of First Nations peoples in our communities and #YourADF.

Behind every mission, there’s a logistics backbone. As we prepare for #TalismanSabre25, thousands of personnel, vehicles, supplies and systems are being mobilised across land, sea, and air. It’s not just about the front line – it's about every line of supply. #JointForce

🎂 JCG turns 8! 🥳 We have grown and evolved sine 2017! Today, JCG is focused on generating Space, Cyber and National Support effects as part of the integrated force. #YourADF building a stronger, skilled and agile force!

It was a privilege to welcome Commander US Space Command, General Stephen N. Whiting to Canberra recently 🇦🇺🇺🇸 #yourADF and the US share a common vision for a free and secure space environment. We look forward to our continued partnership with @US_SpaceCom

Yesterday, I joined @US_SpaceCom Commander Gen Stephen N. Whiting at the Australian War Memorial Last Post Ceremony. We took this moment to reflect on the sacrifice of those who served before us and to honour their enduring legacy. #YourADF

Fantastic to address the ADIESA mid-year dinner last night! It was great to hear from #ADIESA members about cyber, space and electronic systems. We cannot achieve #yourADF mission without the help from our amazing industry partners. Industry isn’t just valuable, they’re vital!

Congratulations to all of those who received awards as part of the King’s Birthday honours list. Thank you to the families for supporting the personnel who were recognised. #YourADF

This year, the National Reconciliation Week theme is ‘Bridging Now to Next’—urging all Australians to look ahead and step forward together as past lessons guide us on our reconciliation journey. #NRW2025 #BridgingNowtoNext

Today on National Sorry Day, we pause to reflect on the strength of the Stolen Generations and the enduring impact of past policies. Acknowledgement and understanding are steps toward healing, and reconciliation begins with listening. #NationalSorryDay

Great to connect with the next generation of Defence leaders at ADFA. Presenting to our trainees is a privilege - their curiosity, drive and commitment reflect a bright future for #yourADF. #ADFA @DefenceAust
