About ASC

ASC builds and maintains the future of Australia’s frontline naval defences. We work with cutting edge technologies and resources, and are supported by the largest and most capable team in naval resourcing in Australia. We believe the most challenging tasks need the most ingenious solutions. In 2005, ASC was awarded the role of Shipbuilder for the Hobart Class Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) project. This program sees the most advanced and complex warships ever built in Australia being constructed at ASC's state-of-the-art shipbuilding facility - ASC South - located at Osborne, South Australia. From 1987, ASC was the prime contractor for the design, manufacture and delivery of the Royal Australian Navy's (RAN) fleet of six Collins Class submarines. At the conclusion of the Collins Class submarine build program in 2003, ASC commenced a 25-year contract with Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) for the ongoing repair, maintenance and design upgrades of the submarines through life. Today, ASC has evolved into Australia's largest specialised defence shipbuilding organisation, with naval design and engineering resources unparalleled within Australia's defence industry. When you’re helping secure Australia’s interests at sea, there is no bigger challenge. Or better employer.
