Support Available

A range of government assistance measures are available from all layers of government, each generally has a different focus with specific initiatives and some targeting specific industries.

Support is available for a range of activities covering research, development, commercialisation and infrastructure establishment supporting the growth cycle of emerging organisations.

Support is either eligibility based (e.g. R&D Tax Incentive, EMDG), whilst others are competitive based (competing for a limited pool of funds e.g. Commercialisation Australia).

Generally the eligibility programs are accessed at year end for expenses already incurred, whilst the competitive programs are accessed during a project’s duration providing ongoing cash flow for the business.
