Who is eligible for assistance under Industry Partnership Program?

We will work together with business, industry and research institutions to tailor assistance to suit each project.

To be eligible for assistance under the Industry Partnership Program, your organisation must:

• be a legal entity and hold an active Australian Business Number or Australian Registered Body Number
• have obtained internal approval to make the application, including approval to co-fund all project costs not covered by financial assistance provided through the program
• have the financial ability to deliver the project
• have a history of regulatory compliance, including development and environmental approvals, Corporations Act 2001, competition and consumer legislation and industrial relations legislation.

Local governments, sole traders, family partnerships and start-ups are not eligible to apply for assistance under the Industry Partnership Program.

Collaborative projects are welcomed and may include the participation of ineligible organisations. However, applications must be submitted by a single organisation that complies with the eligibility criteria.
