Eligibility quick-check

  • Business structure: the listed criteria don't require a company. You'll usually need an active ABN, and often GST registration.
  • Co-contribution: you put in your own cash too (often $1 for every $1, or half the project cost). Check you can fund it before you apply.
  • Location: open to businesses operating in Victoria.
  • Industry: aimed at defence.

A quick guide from our reading of the official criteria, not a decision. The funder's guidelines are what count.

How to apply for Victorian Supply Chain Uplift Program

  1. Check every eligibility criterion in the official guidelines, not just the summary. One missed criterion usually means rejection.
  2. Confirm your ABN details (legal name, entity type, GST status) match the ABN Register exactly. Mismatches are a common reason applications fail.
  3. Gather evidence: quotes for the project, recent financials, and proof of any co-contribution or lease, depending on what the guidelines ask for.
  4. Write the answers to each assessment criterion with specific numbers (costs, jobs, sales, timelines), and build the budget in the funder's format.
  5. Lodge it through the official portal while the round is open. Keep a copy of the submitted application and the receipt.
  6. If you're successful, read the funding agreement before signing, keep every receipt, and diarise the report and acquittal dates.

The listed criteria don't require a company, so sole traders may be eligible if they meet everything else (for example ABN, location, trading history and industry). Check the guidelines.

Do I need to put in my own money?

Yes. This program needs a co-contribution from your business, so you'll need cash available for your share of the project, and often to pay costs before you claim.

Can someone apply for Victorian Supply Chain Uplift Program on my behalf?

Someone else can prepare it, but your business is the applicant: you sign the declarations, and most funders expect you to submit it yourself. We prepare the whole application so it's ready for you to review, sign and submit, usually in about 10 minutes. If a funder's rules expressly allow an agent to lodge, we can do it with your written OK after you've approved the final version.

How much does it cost to get help applying?

Freelance grant writers in Australia typically charge by the hour or a fixed fee per application, whether you win or not. With Vic Grants Weekly, there's nothing to pay unless you win. 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.
