Powering a Future Made in Australia

We are supporting priority industries aligned with the Future Made in Australia National Interest Framework, which consists of 2 streams:

  • the Net Zero Transformation Stream
  • the Economic Resilience and Security Stream.

In the 2024-25 Budget, these include: 

  • clean energy manufacturing, including battery supply chains
  • green metals
  • critical minerals processing.

  • Building our battery industry

    The National Battery Strategy and other measures will support our domestic battery industry as it grows.

  • Building a green metals industry

    We are using our energy resources to become a world leader in green metals through a range of measures.

  • Supporting critical minerals processing

    As part of the 2024-25 May Budget, the Australian Government announced it will invest in a range of measures to secure our critical minerals processing industries.

  • Planning for net zero

    The Industry Sector Plan is one of 6 sectoral emissions reduction plans that support the government's Net Zero Plan.

  • Supporting industry decarbonisation

    The Net Zero Fund supports the transition to less carbon-intensive manufacturing and production processes through targeted investment.

Diversifying and transforming industry and the economy

The Australian Government is working to support Australian manufacturing across 7 priority areas: 

  • adding value to resources
  • transport
  • medical science
  • defence capability
  • renewables and low emissions technologies

    The program supports innovative SMEs undertaking commercialisation or growth projects that will build Australian capabilities in these priority areas.

  • Co-investment plans (CIP)

    The plans identify high-level investment opportunities to build manufacturing capabilities across priority areas.
