Funding for businesses to invest in capabilities to address supply chain vulnerabilities
Grants to establish or scale a manufacturing capability or related activity that addresses supply chain vulnerabilities for a critical product or input identified in the Sovereign Manufacturing Capability Plan.
Funding supports investment in equipment, technology, skills and processes.
To be eligible you must:
- have an Australian Business Number (ABN)
- be non-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 are a substantial and not merely peripheral activity of the corporation
Eligible projects:
- 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
- how you will provide your share of project costs
An accountant declaration template is provided to help confirm you can fund your share of the project costs, including any ineligible expenditure.
There are two eligible critical product categories: Biopharmaceuticals (medicines) and Agricultural Production Chemicals.
