The Defence Teaming Centre (DTC) is South Australia's defence industry association, formed in 1996 to represent over 200 member companies employing 17,000 people. The DTC's core strategies are to support member services through industry collaboration, marketing, political engagement, and capability development initiatives like clustering, skills development, and workforce planning. The DTC aims to increase innovation, connectivity, and defence capability in South Australia by helping member companies diversify while maintaining defence work, and positioning the state to benefit from major future shipbuilding and defence technology projects.
