The United Services Institute Of The ACT, Inc
The United Services Institute Of The ACT, Inc is an Australian nonprofit organisation focused on promoting public understanding of national security and defence issues. Operating in the Australian Capital Territory, the institute facilitates dialogue through educational activities, expert presentations, and networking opportunities[1][2].

Objectives and Activities
The institute organises a program of events featuring subject matter experts discussing regional and global security challenges. These sessions occur in formal and informal settings, often accompanied by catering and subsidised attendance for members[1][2]. Its activities aim to foster collaboration across government, military, and industry sectors while enhancing awareness of contemporary defence-related topics[1][5].

Membership
Membership is open to individuals with an interest in national security and defence. Benefits include access to exclusive events, networking opportunities, and discounted participation in activities[1][2]. The institute emphasizes building professional connections among its diverse membership base[1].

Operations
As a registered charity, the organisation relies on member contributions and event subsidies to support its activities[2][3]. While it shares naming similarities with state-based Royal United Services Institute chapters, it operates independently within the ACT[4][5]. The institute’s educational outreach includes leveraging publications and digital resources to disseminate insights on defence and security[5].
