"Project of Concern Summits provide a valuable forum for Defence and industry to engage on projects requiring high-level intervention to achieve successful delivery. Participating parties identify remediation methods, commit to working together and review project progress.

"These summits are an important part of the Albanese Government's efforts to actively monitor high-priority projects and maintain momentum on the delivery of capabilities for the Australian Defence Force."
