The Contested Maritime Domain: Implications for Australia?
Jennifer Parker, Non-Resident Fellow – Lowy Institute
Monday 23 February 2026: 5.30pm for 6pm – 7pm AEDT at Level 13, 356 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
Australia is a maritime nation whose security and prosperity are inseparable from the sea. As strategic competition increasingly spills into the maritime domain, long-held assumptions about its stability are being challenged, forcing a reassessment of Australia’s strategy, capability, and risk tolerance.
What does a more contested maritime environment mean for Australia’s strategic choices?
AIIA Victoria invites you to join Jennifer Parker, one of Australia’s leading voices on defence and strategy, (online or at the event) to explore maritime strategy, and further capability and geopolitical implications.
