FAQ
This page is general information, not financial or legal advice. Check the official guidelines for each program.
Sometimes, but usually only after setting up an Australian company. Most programs need an ABN or ACN, and state programs usually want you based in that state. A few investment funds, like Victoria’s Equity Investment Attraction Fund, are open to overseas startups that move operations here.
A grant is money you apply for, usually in rounds and often with matched funding. A tax incentive, like the R&D Tax Incentive, gives you money back through your tax return for eligible spending. You register rather than compete.
Many programs open in rounds once or twice a year, and some pause while governments change their priorities. We mark each one as open, ongoing, opens in rounds, closed or check status, based on the official page.
We last checked every program against its official page in October 2026. Always read the official guidelines before you apply.
We help companies work out which programs fit and get the pieces in place: an Australian entity, a local base, research partners and a market plan. Talk to us about what you need.
