Grants

There are now significant funds available

from both Federal and State Governments for those businesses interested in increasing their resource efficiency, energy efficiency, clean technology, renewable energy and regional development.

Does this interest you? Are you eligible?

To incentivise businesses and organisations to pioneer new clean technologies, carbon mitigation efforts and increase energy efficiency, the Federal Government has made over $3 billion available in grants.

This is all well and good, but the process of applying for grants can, without any guarantee of success, can be time-consuming, confusing and often requires:

A combination of technical, financial and sustainability skills
Preparing a business case/plan
Technical assessment
Market analysis
Providing financial analysis
Giving taxation information
Delivering proof of concept,
Research and Development
Business planning and more.
