Defence & Security
Bureau Veritas is proud to support the Department of Defence in its mission to advance Australia’s security and prosperity.
Our Defence & Security business is designed to offer flexibility in service delivery, enabling operations from our offices, client locations, or remote settings as required. We bring together the best industry and project management professionals in a team structure tailored to Defence and suited to delivering multiple projects across the country.
The APP Group and Terra Schwartz’s trusted reputation, performance and market share across Australia attracted the attention of international leader, Bureau Veritas, which acquired the companies in late 2024.
Joining forces with Bureau Veritas allows for The APP Group and Terra Schwartz to continue to grow, whilst leveraging a global network of services, systems and resource capability to support our clients and new market opportunities. Together, Bureau Veritas, The APP Group & Terra Schwartz form a unique integrated capability.
