The objectives of the program are to:

The maximum grant period is 12 months.
To be eligible you must:
- have an Australian Business Number (ABN)

We can only accept applications:
- where you provide evidence from your board (or chief executive officer or equivalent if there is no board) that the project is supported, and that you can complete the project and meet the costs of the project not covered by grant funding
