National Security
Established through a partnership between the Australian and South Australian Governments under the National Skills Agreement, the Centre has been created to help build the skilled workforce needed to respond to Australia’s rapidly evolving national security environment.
As cyber security threats increase, geopolitical uncertainty grows, and pressures on critical infrastructure and global supply chains intensify, Australia requires a workforce equipped with the technical, operational, and digital capabilities to meet emerging challenges.
The Centre brings together industry, government, and education partners. In doing so, the Centre reflects the TAFE SA commitment to working as one — fostering collaboration across sectors to deliver shared national outcomes, and to co-design training solutions that align with current and future workforce needs.
Through industry-informed curriculum development, applied research, and investment in modern training environments, the Centre will focus on doing what matters to deliver practical, job-ready skills that strengthen national capability and support workforce growth across critical industries.
The Centre will focus on workforce capability development across a range of national security priority areas, including:
By strengthening capability across these priority areas, the Centre will support:
The Centre will also foster a culture where people are encouraged to step up — embracing innovation, leadership, and continuous improvement to respond to evolving national security challenges.
The Centre will play a leading role in shaping best practice vocational education and training for the national security sector.
The Centre supports the development of a skilled workforce capable of designing, manufacturing, maintaining, protecting, and sustaining technologies and infrastructure that are important to Australia's national interests.
We acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which TAFE SA stands.
