Centre for Defence Industry Capability - Capability Improvement Grants
A business can apply for a Capability Improvement Grant to cover up to 80% of the cost of engaging a consultant or expert to implement business improvements. As part of their grant application the business must include a proposal and quote from a service provider.
The business improvements will be set out in an advisory services report provided to the business by the CDIC.

- where you apply within 12 months of receiving a CDIC advisory service report
- if you have successfully applied for a Capability Improvement Grant within the 6 month timeframe you can apply for further supplementary grants up to 12 months from the date you received the advisory service report.
