Australia now has three-quarters of its F-35As at home. 

The latest delivery of four jets brings the total number of F-35As based in Australia to 54 of the planned fleet of 72 aircraft. The growing fleet represents a 10% increase in training and combat capacity for the F-35A fighting wing. 

The Government of Australia announced that their F-35A fleet had achieved initial operational capability on Dec. 28, 2020. This declaration made Australia the seventh country to declare IOC for its F-35 fleet.
