The Innovation Awards shortlist can now be viewed in the following Media Release
The Awards will recognise and reward innovation by Australian individuals and organisations in products, services and business processes in the Cyber Security, Physical Security & Policing and the Disaster Relief, Emergency Management & Humanitarian fields. These represent the ‘fourth arm’ of Australian security: the protection of communities and national populations - those vital areas which can’t be addressed by the uniformed Australian Defence Force alone. There are two cash awards of $15,000 each, one for the most innovative Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) and one for the most promising Young Innovator.
The Awards will be presented for the first time by the Chairman of Industry Defence and Security Australia Limited during the CIVSEC 2018 Congress in Melbourne on Wednesday 2 May at 1430 in the CIVSEC Theatrette and will be open to all attendees at CIVSEC 2018.

The SME Innovation Grant and Young Innovator Award are worth $15,000 each.
