About FORCES GROUP
Indigenous owned. Accountable by design.
FORCES GROUP is operated by Saltwater Country Services Pty Ltd, a 100% Indigenous-owned company. Our four specialist divisions bring performance infrastructure, deployable infrastructure and mission systems, energy and power infrastructure, and digital delivery and intelligent systems together for our customers.
Ownership and operating model
One operating company. Four specialist divisions.
Saltwater Country Services Pty Ltd holds the current ownership credentials and is the contracting entity for current FORCES GROUP work unless another entity is identified for a scope. Engineering and technical assurance support the group; they are not a fifth specialist company. Wellbeing is a qualified partner-delivered offer, not a specialist division.

Our Indigenous approach
Indigenous ownership, built into how we work.
Indigenous ownership and leadership are part of the operating company, not a label added to a bid. Broader participation for primes and major projects is delivered through FORCES Bid, FORCES Manage and FORCES Enterprise.
Delivery network

FORCES combines internal accountability with specialist Australian partners selected for the actual requirement. The client keeps one commercial relationship while defined scopes are delivered by the right specialists.
Engineering & manufacturing
Specialist engineers, fabricators and manufacturers for defined physical-system scopes.
Energy & regulated trades
Appropriately qualified designers, electricians, installers and commissioning specialists.
Technology delivery
Specialist product, software, platform and automation delivery partners.
Indigenous suppliers & workforce
Verified Indigenous businesses and workforce pathways matched to project requirements.

Engineering & Product Development
FORCES develops selected proprietary products and deployable systems from operational requirement through product development and manufacturing handover — product development, CAD, component design, technical documentation, prototyping and manufacturing integration. This is a cross-group function, not another division.
FORCES does not publish a partner directory. Partners are identified only where the relationship, role and permission are current and verified.
Operating partners
A separate conversation for established operators.
Established operators may discuss a separately formed, funded and verified operating company in one defined market. Terms are set out on the Operating Partners page.
