Defence Industry Policy Statement
Building Defence Capability:
A Policy for a Smarter and More Agile Defence Industry Base
Harry Dunstall was admitted to the Supreme Court of Queensland as a solicitor in 1987. He spent the first years of his career travelling and working overseas and within Australia. He managed a small start up grain trading business which provided him with a good insight into the issues faced by small to medium enterprises. In 1997, as Executive Assistant to the then Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Government Solicitor, Harry assisted with the transition of the AGS organisation from being part of the Attorney-General’s Department to a separate commercial Government Business Enterprise (GBE). Before joining the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO), Harry was Special Counsel in the AGS Commercial Group. In this capacity, Harry relied upon his experiences in major commercial transactions to form strategic views on challenges and threats posed to Defence and other Commonwealth clients. Harry joined DMO in 2007 as Special Counsel to Chief Executive Officer, DMO, and was responsible for leading the reform and professionalization of DMO’s in-house legal function and procurement and contracting services (including financial investigation services). Part of these reforms included streamlining procurement processes, signing off legal and commercial aspects of acquisition strategies and working with industry on commercial risk allocation, price indexation, allowable costs policy and performance based contracting. On 25 February 2010, Harry was appointed to the role of General Manager of DMO.
