The Australian Naval Institute invites you to join a webinar on Wednesday 6 May at 12.30pm AEST examining the maritime elements of the recently released 2026 National Defence Strategy. For Australia, an island nation whose security and prosperity are underpinned by maritime trade, the maritime dimension of the Strategy is central. This webinar will move beyond summary to examine what the Strategy reveals about Australia’s strategic circumstances, where capability and investment are heading, and whether current settings are sufficient to meet the challenges ahead.
The discussion will consider the balance between sea denial and sea control, the protection of sea lines of communication, and the implications for Australia’s ability to operate effectively with allies and partners across the Indo-Pacific.
Date: Wednesday, 6 May 2026
