Since 2014, Omni has steadily built its presence in Western Australia, supporting the State’s vital role in Australia’s defence, national security, and critical infrastructure sectors. Starting with professional services, the local team now delivers capability across Aerospace, Assurance, Technology and Professional Services.
Today, more than 70 people work in Omni’s WA operations, supporting Government and private sector clients. In 2018, Omni opened a city office in Perth to provide closer support for national security and critical infrastructure work. This local base has strengthened relationships with Commonwealth and State Government stakeholders, enabling the development of responsive and practical solutions.
A key part of Omni’s WA capability is its significant aviation presence at Jandakot Airport. Omni operates two dedicated hangars — the second of which was established in 2025 — to meet growing demand. The Western Australia Police (WAPOL) is a major partner, with Omni supporting all aspects of WAPOLs fixed-wing capability. The site is also home to the Pilatus Service Centre, where Omni services Pilatus aircraft for private and charter operators, keeping these assets ready for mission-critical tasks.
Omni’s WA expertise extends beyond State borders. An example is the work Omni completed in support of the Future Submarine Program. Omni designed, delivered and managed the Program’s secure facility in Cherbourg, France – using their WA-based project management and security teams. This experience has Omni in a strong position to support Australia’s contribution to AUKUS, with WA set to play a crucial role in the nation’s future nuclear-powered submarine capability.
Omni has earned a reputation as a trusted and sovereign partner for the Australian and Western Australian Governments. Local jobs, local investment and proven delivery are at the heart of that trust. The WA team’s work reflects Omni’s commitment to growing local capability and supporting Australia’s national interest.
Steven Thorpe, Omni’s Senior Executive in WA led this growth. In 2026, Steven and his family will relocate to Canberra to take up the role of Omni’s Chief Executive Officer, ensuring that the experience, relationships and insight built in WA continue to shape Omni’s national and international endeavours.
Looking ahead, Omni will continue to invest in local people, facilities and partnerships in Western Australia. From maintaining vital law enforcement capabilities to supporting complex international projects and future AUKUS requirements, Omni’s people in WA will continue to deliver trusted capabilities for the State and the nation.
