Since 2010, graduates of the Armed Services technical training streams and other specialist vocational and tertiary programs, as well as the South Australian Defence Industry Leadership Program (SADILP), have also been admitted, further enhancing that relation- ship. DICA members are employed in key positions in government or industry and following retirement many make themselves available to mentor colleagues and new graduates. DICA is an outstanding net- work of key executives and decision makers located throughout the Defence industry sector. The organisation exists to support its mem- bers and others within the sector who may be seeking professional mentoring or to locate a collaborative venture partner.
