Our Garrison Support Services contracts cover 20 military specific and base operations services that are available on a 24-hour, seven-day basis in support of Defence activities. In catering for example, we provide over three million meals a year through the operation and management of Defence messes and canteens. We also manage recreational facilities such as gymnasiums, swimming pools and sporting fields, all of which contributes to enhancing the social and recreational fabric of the Defence Force.

Transfield Services operates three airfield fire services to protect the lives of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) aircrew and passengers, provide three structural services that protect base infrastructure and are also a critical defence against bushfires in Defence’s training precincts. We maintain grounds in all Defence bases to ensure they look good, are safe for training and environmentally sustainable.

We manage access control for Defence and ensure bases, armouries and ammunition depots are regularly patrolled and secure. We also manage Defence firing ranges to ensure they are safe and provide a challenging training environment to Defence personnel.

In addition to Garrison Support style services, Transfield Services also provides asset management services to land equipment. We provide these services to a range of vehicles and have the capability to conduct all routine and reactive maintenance services, as well as major component replacement and repairs.
