A businessman and women have a conversation at a table over a laptop.

We’re working to expand the Industry Growth Program by engaging a second round of suitably qualified contractors as advisers to provide advisory services to SMEs.

The Industry Growth Program supports innovative Australian startups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The program helps them commercialise their innovative projects and scale their businesses in Australian Government priority areas.

Through the program, eligible businesses engage with an adviser in the advisory service. After the service, businesses may choose to apply for matched grant funding. 

As an adviser you’ll work directly with innovative businesses taking part in the advisory service. You will give tailored expert advice and guidance on commercialisation and growth, including:

  • validation of a business model
  • networking and collaboration
  • seeking investment
  • market testing
  • developing compelling value propositions.

We expect that successful tenderers will start to deliver services in early January 2025.
