We are thrilled to announce that Vertical Scope Group (VSG) has been awarded the 2025 Australian Owned Business of the Year, presented by Australian Owned. This national award celebrates Australian businesses that lead the way in strengthening sovereign capability, building inclusive workforces, and contributing meaningfully to our economy.

Vertical Scope Group isn’t just headquartered in Australia, it’s built on a foundation of Australian-first decision making. From leadership to logistics, suppliers to service delivery, VSG is entirely based onshore, working exclusively with Australian-owned partners. From IT infrastructure to HR platforms and compliance services, every key function is aligned with national standards and contributes directly to our local economy.

At the heart of VSG’s impact is WorkPath Australia (WPA) a groundbreaking, self-funded initiative helping veterans and underrepresented Australians launch careers in cyber, ICT, and defence.

Rather than wait for government backing, VSG reinvested commercial revenue to provide up to $15,000 in fully funded training per participant. By working with organisations like TAFECyber Australia and the Future Skills Organisation, they’ve created nationally scalable programs without compromising on local integrity or job-readiness.

This isn’t just corporate social responsibility, it’s a long-term investment in Australian capability.

WPA has helped cement VSG’s position as a trusted partner in highly secure sectors. Their commitment has already earned recognition from:

• RCSA Awards for Social Purpose and DEIB
• Prime Minister’s Veteran Employment Awards
• And now, the Australian Owned Business of the Year 2025

These accolades are not just plaques on the wall, they're proof that doing the right thing for Australia is also good for business.

VSG wears its Australian Owned certification (AO Licence #01641) with pride. It’s embedded across marketing, capability statements, tenders, LinkedIn content, and internal culture.

It’s more than a logo, it’s a promise of trust, quality, and sovereign capability. It tells clients, stakeholders, and employees: we’re all-in on Australia.

Through consistent storytelling, veteran support, onshore investment, and inclusive hiring, VSG is reshaping what Australian influence looks like in national security and professional services. They’re not only growing their own business—they’re helping grow a stronger, more self-reliant country.

Your unwavering commitment to Australian influence, your leadership in workforce transformation, and your values-first approach to business make you a standout example of what it means to be Australian Owned.

We are proud to celebrate you, and even prouder to have you in our community.
