From Defence support and security to major Canberra events, Blackhawk Logistics has built a diverse business over 18 years. This sponsored post looks at the people and community behind its growth.

Established in 2008, Blackhawk Logistics has grown into a diversified provider of Defence support, security, logistics and major public events and ceremonies.

Today, the company employs more than 80 people, remains proudly Canberra owned and works with an established network of national industry partners.

For 18 years, Blackhawk has built its reputation on professionalism, reliability and strong relationships, supporting Australian Government agencies, Defence, commercial organisations and the Canberra community.

Defence, security and national events

Blackhawk’s capabilities span Defence consulting, logistics and warehousing, static and mobile security, electronic security systems, transport and major event operations.

Its expanding Defence division provides experienced personnel supporting Defence programs, capability sustainment and specialist projects.

Blackhawk also has an extensive history supporting nationally significant ceremonies, commemorations and major public events.

These include ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day at the Australian War Memorial, National Citizenship Ceremonies, Royal Military College and Australian Defence Force Academy graduations, Floriade, the National Multicultural Festival, Enlighten and the Canberra Balloon Spectacular.

These occasions demand careful planning, professionalism and an appreciation of their national and community significance.

Supporting Australia’s veterans

What sets Blackhawk apart is its people. More than 60 per cent of its Defence workforce are veterans.

Blackhawk maintains strong connections with the Australian Defence Force and veteran community.

The company actively supports former serving members transitioning into civilian employment, recognising their leadership, discipline and operational experience.

Creating meaningful employment opportunities and supporting professional development remain central to Blackhawk’s culture.

Giving back to Canberra

Community involvement has been central to Blackhawk’s identity since its establishment.

Over 18 years, the company has supported more than 100 charities, schools, sporting clubs and community initiatives, including Malkara School, the Mix 106.3 Special Children’s Christmas Party and the RSPCA Million Paws Walk.

Having previously supported the Canberra Raiders, Blackhawk is now a proud partner of the ACT Brumbies.

These relationships reflect a genuine commitment to supporting the community that has contributed to the company’s growth.

Recognised for excellence

Blackhawk’s commitment to its people and professional service has earned recognition locally and nationally.

The company received an ACT Chief Minister’s Inclusion Award for its contribution to inclusive employment.

In 2025, Blackhawk was named a national finalist in two categories at the Outstanding Security Performance Awards, recognising its contract guarding operations and events security team.

Blackhawk is also a finalist in the 2026 Canberra Region Local Business Awards.

These achievements reflect the professionalism, dedication and experience of its workforce.

Eighteen years and counting

As Blackhawk celebrates 18 years in business, its focus remains firmly on the future.

With expanding Defence capabilities, established security and event operations, and national industry partnerships, the company continues to build on its foundations.

Through continued investment in its people, clients and community, Blackhawk remains committed to the principles that have guided its journey: integrity, professionalism, reliability and service.
