The Department of Employment, Small Business and Training will not fund projects with a total cost of less than $10,715 (ex GST) or payments made before the approval date (you must be approved before you pay for grant-funded project activities).
If you’re considering applying, we strongly encourage you to prepare your quotes and documentation in advance. Applicants often require an accountant’s prepared declaration as part of the grant submission process.
