Eligibility

To be eligible you must:

have an Australian Business Number (ABN)
be registered for the Goods and Services Tax (GST)
be an entity incorporated in Australia and a trading corporation, where your trading activities

form a sufficiently significant proportion of the corporation’s overall activities as to merit it being described as a trading corporation; or
are a substantial and not merely peripheral activity of the corporation.

We can only accept applications:

where you can provide clear evidence, for example a letter of intent or contract from your customer, that demonstrates you have a domestic and/or international space supply chain opportunity
where you can provide evidence from your board (or chief executive officer or equivalent if there is no board) that the project is supported, and that you can complete the project and meet the costs of the project not covered by grant funding
where you can provide an accountant declaration that confirms you are a trading corporation and can fund your share of the project costs, including any ineligible expenditure. An accountant declaration template is available on business.gov.au and GrantConnect. If you do not use this template, you must include equivalent information and the declaration in your own document.

Joint applications are acceptable, provided you have a lead organisation who is the main driver of the project and is eligible to apply.

You are not eligible to apply if you are:

an individual
partnership
trust (however, an incorporated trustee may apply on behalf of a trust)
a Commonwealth, State, Territory or local government body (including government business enterprises)
a publicly funded research organisation
a privately funded research organisation
a corporate or non-corporate Commonwealth entity.

Read the grant opportunity guidelines for more information on the eligibility criteria.
