Future Submarines Program

155 Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (1 July 2020). Has the NAVAL Group raised concerns over the skills available in South Australia to deliver on their commitment to maximise local content with the domestic delivery of the Future Submarines project?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

The Naval Shipbuilding College (NSC) is assessing the workforce demand for the continuous naval shipbuilding programs, which include the Hunter class frigate and Attack class submarine programs. It is important to address it as a whole of enterprise requirement so the solutions are effective and efficient, and do not advantage one project at the expense of another.

Naval Group, BAE Systems and other industry participants provide NSC with their South Australian workforce needs.

The Adelaide City Deal between the South Australian and Australian governments, includes an agreement to implement a Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA). The DAMA provides access to more overseas workers than the standard skilled migration program. Under the DAMA framework, employers in designated areas experiencing skills and labour shortages can sponsor skilled and semi-skilled overseas workers.
