Specialist Workforce Capability Gap

Question

Given Australia's nuclear submarine workforce and industrial base are still in their infancy, what is the Agency's strategy to bridge the near term capability gap, particularly in specialist roles such as engineering, nuclear governance, and technical authority? Is the Agency relying on or planning to rely on international secondees, contractors, or accelerated domestic training pathways? How is the Agency ensuring that any reliance on international expertise translates into a genuinely sovereign Australian workforce? What mechanisms are in place to measure and enforce knowledge transfer?
