Administered by the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT), the Business Boost grants program provides support to businesses to advance improvements in their efficiency and productivity.

This support includes funded activities in 3 project areas:

  1. Future planning
  2. Specialised and automated software
  3. Staff management, development and planning.

Available funding

Businesses may be eligible to receive a grant payment of $15,000 (excluding GST) on completing their proposed project.

Successful applicants must co-contribute at least 30% of the total project costs.

Grant funding is paid after completion of the project and only after compliant acquittal documentation is received.

Projects will not be funded with:

  • a total cost of less than $10,715 (excluding GST)
  • or
  • payments made before the approval date (you must be approved before you pay for grant-funded project activities).
