Western Australia’s first naval nuclear foundations training course has been launched, developed in partnership with Curtin University to support AUKUS and the future sustainment of nuclear‑powered submarines at Henderson.
The course is funded through the WA Government’s $2.5 million Defence Industry Reskilling and Upskilling (DIRU) Grants Program. The grants program is designed to fast‑track job‑ready skills through industry‑led training partnerships, delivering specialised capability where it is needed most and strengthening Western Australia’s sovereign defence workforce.
