308

Some systems hold up the rest.
We work on those.

Protective and defensive technology for the organisations responsible for critical systems, across every sector where a failure carries real consequence.

Why 308

Bought badly, built badly.
We are the other path.

Technology for critical systems in Australia is bought and built badly. The work is won by firms that pass it down a chain of subcontractors, so the people who understand the problem and the people who build the answer rarely meet. We do the build ourselves, under a method we can show you, and we stay with it until it works.

Founder-held
Australian-owned, with no external investors and no board pressure. We grow at the pace the work sets, and products ship when they are ready, on our own clock.
Built onshore
Every contributor on Australian engagements is Australian-based, without exception. Abroad, the work is led from here and built by people of the country it serves.
One standard
The same security posture whether the system is for defence or for a care provider. It comes from defence practice, and we apply it unchanged.
Nothing hidden
You see the method, the people on the work and the state it is actually in, including what is not working. No progress theatre, and no surprises at handover.
Modes

Three ways in. One standard.

Continuity

Defined work, delivered and handed over.

Transformation, AI adoption and workforce uplift, and infrastructure that comes out harder than we found it.

Research

Where the things the critical sectors can’t buy get made.

Hardware and software, built through five gates and funded by delivery. Salus started here.

Impact

Protective work for the people and places that can’t pay.

Our own projects, and pro bono work for aid organisations operating in conflict and disaster zones. Coming soon.

Capability

What we build, and how.

Secure software & DevSecOps

Software that is secure because of how it was built, not what was bolted on after.

Threat modelling before the first feature, secrets and outbound access locked down from the first commit, and an audit trail designed in rather than reconstructed. The same discipline whether the system is for defence or for a care provider.

Agentic systems

AI agents that do real work on real systems, with the blast radius decided before they touch anything.

We settle what an agent can reach, what it can change, and who reviews it before it acts. Every action is logged. Some decisions get no agent at all, and we say which in writing.

RPA for critical processes

Automation for the processes where a mistake becomes an incident.

Reconciliations, compliance returns, records handling – the repetitive work that quietly eats a senior person’s week. We map how it runs before we automate it, and if it should be redesigned first, we say so.

Defensive AI & model assurance

Machine learning that holds up when someone is trying to break it.

We start from who benefits if the model is wrong. Every model can say where its training data came from, drift is watched by a named person, and rollback has been rehearsed before it is needed.

Autonomous systems

Systems that act on their own, with the limits of what they may do written down before the code is.

What the system is allowed to do, the conditions it operates in, and what it does when its inputs stop making sense are all decided first. At the edge of its competence it stops, holds safe, and hands back to a person.

Digital twin & simulation

Simulations of how a facility will really run, tested before the design is poured in concrete.

Built from what staff do on the floor, not from the process document. A hospital design can be tested for corridor conflicts and queue build-up before anyone commits to it.

Featured

Care planning, out of the filing system.

Salus is the drafting layer between what a provider already knows and the care plan it owes. The first product out of 308 Research, built with Vox Novus under PartnershipDNA and now in use with Australian home care providers — what the five gates produce when a need keeps surfacing and nobody sells the answer.

Australian home care providers already hold everything a care plan needs. Salus pulls it into one client picture and an auditable draft in under 30 minutes. By hand that takes three to five hours, and detail still goes missing. A care manager reviews, edits and approves.

What we’ve been working on.

NSW Health public hospital design validation
308 Continuity

NSW Health public hospital design validation

Five streams of evidence, qualitative and quantitative, run against the schematic and detailed design of a new public hospital. Little else is public. Ask, and we will tell you what we can.

Advanced uncrewed systems manufacturing

Advanced uncrewed systems manufacturing

An automated sales workflow across four products, built inside the systems of a named Australian OEM. It saves hours of manual work every week.
