OUR DIFFERENCE

Our experienced and innovative consultants push the boundaries of what’s possible and demonstrate through consistent, high-quality outputs that we are the partner of choice for Defence Primes and Federal Government Departments. Our consultants retain security clearances up to and including The Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) Top Secret Positive Vetting (TSPV), and maintain excellent professional relationships with key stakeholders across both civil and Defence aerodromes, air traffic control establishments, regulatory bodies and sovereign Defence industries.

We are First Nations industry leaders in our fields and promote opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander training, mentoring and participation within our domains. The company’s goal is to create non-traditional pathways into Aviation, Space and emerging industries for First Nations Australians. We want Mob to believe that they can have a meaningful career in these domains.
