Funding to invest in capabilities to address supply chain vulnerabilities
The Supply Chain Resilience Initiative (SCRI) provides grants to establish or scale a manufacturing capability or related activity that addresses supply chain vulnerabilities for critical products identified in the Sovereign Manufacturing Capability Plan.
Grants support investment in equipment, technology, skills and processes to improve resilience and address vulnerabilities for identified critical product categories.
To be eligible you must:
- have an Australian Business Number (ABN)
- be non-income tax-exempt
- be registered for the Goods and Services Tax (GST)
- be an entity incorporated in Australia and a trading corporation
If you are a trading corporation, your trading activities must form a sufficiently significant proportion of the corporation’s overall activities as to merit it being described as a trading corporation; or form a substantial and not merely peripheral activity of the corporation.
For your project to be eligible, your application must show:
- a minimum of $100,000 in eligible project expenditure
- that you are a manufacturing business or a business within the manufacturing supply chain
- that your project addresses supply chain vulnerabilities associated with critical product categories identified in the Sovereign Manufacturing Capability Plan
- evidence from your board (or chief executive officer or equivalent if there is no board) that the project is supported
- that you can complete the project and meet the costs of the project not covered by grant funding
- and how you will provide your share of project costs
An accountant declaration template is provided to help confirm you can fund your share of project costs, including any ineligible expenditure.
