Generative Deterrence and building resilience, for all of Australia.
'Strategic Mobilisation is the act of generating capability and capacity beyond Defence's current scope and scale by redirecting workforce, and re-allocating or re-purposing Defence, other government or commercial assets.'

Australia's competitors in the Indo-Pacific are challenging the status-quo with the capability they have now - not the capability they intend to field in decades to come. This means Defence, working across government, including State and Territory governments and industry, needs to prepare for possible conflict and move rapidly to protect critical supply lines, key infrastructure, and build reserves of essential resources.

Mobilisation requires the accelerated delivery of national preparedness outcomes based on strategic planning, partnership and investment, all underpinned by a unifying vision of success. It is an effort that will need to bring together government, private industry, and most importantly the Australian public so that we can invest in a stronger, more prosperous and more secure nation.

Synergy Group brings market-leading expertise in our understanding of the mobilisation demand and the capacity of Australia to meet it. This includes modelling infrastructure, workforce, social cohesion, industry and critical materiel. This is a generational challenge that underpins our strategy of denial through deterrence.

We are here to work with you, for all of us, together.

Case Study

National Resilience and Preparedness Risk and Prioritisation Program

Synergy was engaged by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (PMC) to deliver a National Civil Preparedness Risk Profile and Prioritisation Assessment Methodology Model to inform a risk-based approach to National Resilience decision making and reporting.
Our team developed a National Civil Preparedness Risk Profile which extensively explored research on 20 primary risks to the civil sector from a major or concurrent national crises and related disruptions.
Fuel security was a key risk identified, and research efforts were focused on highlighting vulnerabilities, in governance, policies, infrastructure and supply chains including contingency plans for emergency fuel distribution. Existing controls to manage fuel risks were derived from open-source research that included government policies and the role of the private sector to inform recommendations for further controls where gaps were identified (e.g. stockpiling and reserves, diversification of supply sources, rationing, and the coordination with states and territories. These controls were prioritization by the data model.

Case Study

Defence Mobilisation Planning and Analysis

Synergy was engaged by Defence’s Vice Chief of the Defence Force Group to provide expert, independent advice for the development of the Defence Strategic Mobilisation Plan (DSMP). To support this, Synergy developed and delivered an ‘Analysis of the Mobilisation Environment’. This body of research sought to collate quantitative and qualitative evidence to explore the capability and capacity of key national Industries ( private and public), Infrastructure, Critical Material, Workforce, Industry, Science and Technology, Legal Frameworks, and Defence assets to the continuity of the Australian economy during times of strategic regional competition or crisis. These findings from the analysis and research into the broad scope of factors informed the development of the Defence strategic mobilisation plan. The plan was able to address identified vulnerabilities and gaps in national regulatory frameworks, public policies, governance arrangements, investments proirities and broad approaches to national resilience.
