Following a review, Defence decided to reintroduce the Defence & Industry Study Course (DISC) in 2005. Having lobbied hard for the reintroduction of DISC, DAICA was especially pleased at this development, and continues to liaise with the Defence Materiel Organisation in connection with the course.

Increasing knowledge and networks between Defence and industry

The Defence & Industry Study Course (DISC) is a unique national program of seminars and visits that aims to enhance mutual understanding between Defence and the business community in a manner that can contribute to higher quality outcomes for both. It seeks to create and maintain business and personal networks that can be used in times of rapid Australian Defence Force mobilisation or expansion.

Activities occur in three one-week modules several months apart. In 2010, these are planned to occur in May, July and October..

Full details are contained on the DISC web site www.disc.gov.au .  Please note that applications for the 2010 course close on 6 April.
