How to apply for VicScreen Funding and Incentives

- Lodge it through the official portal while the round is open. Keep a copy of the submitted application and the receipt.

If you do, the fee is 12% of the grant money you receive, capped at A$3,000 + GST, and due only once the money is in your account. Where a grant's rules don't allow percentage fees, it's a flat win-only fee from A$99.
