The Where
Strategically Located Facilities
NORSTA operates from two key locations: NORSTA Cairns and NORSTA Darwin. These strategically positioned Regional Maintenance Centres (RMCs) enable us to provide localised support while leveraging our national network. In Cairns, our facilities include state-of-the-art shipyards and access to the largest slipway capacity in northern Australia.
In Darwin, NORSTA North coordinates maintenance activities that are critical to the sustainment of Navy vessels operating in Australia's northern waters. Our regional focus allows us to maintain a strong presence and provide timely, efficient services where they are needed most.
