Different versions of the Bushmaster include utility, troop transport, ambulance, IED, and command variants. While it offers minimal ballistic and IED protection, its lighter armor distinguishes it from heavier wheeled PMVs or tracked armored personnel carriers. The Bushmaster is widely used by the Australian military and is also employed by the Victoria Police for heavy-duty operations.
