Omni is excited to have joined the Australia Pacific Islands Business Council in 2025.
Omni is a privately owned, Australian sovereign capability provider delivering integrated defence, national security, aerospace, and critical infrastructure solutions to government, defence and industry – nationally and regionally. We are focused on supporting Pacific-led solutions to enhance the prosperity and security of our region.
Omni’s Chair of the Board, Jon Hawkins, officially opens our new Barton office, marking an exciting milestone in Omni’s continued growth. Looking on is Steven Thorpe, CEO, as colleagues gather to celebrate the occasion.
Recently we welcomed clients, strategic partners, colleagues, and friends to our Head Office in Barton, Canberra, providing an opportunity to mark an important milestone in the company’s continued growth and reaffirm our commitment to supporting Australia’s national interest at home and across the broader Indo-Pacific region.
While not intended as a formal office opening, the event offered a chance to reflect on the values that continue to shape Omni’s growth and approach to partnerships.
Located in the heart of Australia’s national security and government community, our office strengthens our ability to work alongside government agencies, Pacific Island embassies and consulates, industry partners, and regional stakeholders addressing complex challenges in security, resilience, infrastructure, sovereign capability, and economic development.
For organisations working across the Pacific, these challenges are increasingly interconnected. Success depends not only on technical expertise, but on trusted local relationships, an understanding of operating environments, and partners prepared to invest in long-term outcomes.
This is where Omni seeks to add value. Drawing on our experience, we work collaboratively with partners to deliver practical solutions that strengthen capability and support sustainable growth. Our approach is built on listening first, understanding context, and working alongside clients to achieve outcomes that are meaningful, achievable, and enduring.
As Australia deepens its engagement with Pacific Island nations, the role of industry partnerships will become increasingly important. Strong relationships between businesses, governments, and communities create opportunities to share expertise, build local capability, and deliver initiatives that contribute to regional resilience and prosperity.
Whether supporting complex programs, developing local capability, or helping organisations navigate emerging challenges, Omni is committed to being a trusted partner and contributing to a strong Australia-Pacific Business Community
Our new Barton office is more than a workplace. It is a visible investment in the future, a place where partnerships are strengthened, ideas are shared, and opportunities for collaboration across Australia and the Pacific can continue to grow.
