Export grants in Australia

Australian grant programs for entering overseas markets and growing export sales, pulled together from the Commonwealth, all 8 states and territories and local councils across the country. 103 programs are categorised under export in this catalogue and 39 of them are open right now. Open programs closing soonest come first; closed rounds stay on the list, because most Australian grant programs run again and the alert list tells you the night one reopens.

This is state and territory money. 78% of export programs here are run by a state or territory agency rather than by a council or the Commonwealth, so the department in your own jurisdiction is the place to start. The largest single funder of export projects in this catalogue is Australian Government at 18 programs, and 36 separate funders run at least one.

53 of these 103 programs carry a closing date the funder published, and this page shows the month for every one of them. 17 of them close inside the next year, with May 2027 the busiest month at 6. "Not stated" against an amount means the funder published no figure, and a program with no closing date means the funder published no deadline: neither is filled in with a guess. Where an amount is published, most export grants in this catalogue sit between $3k to $5m.

A category earns a page of its own at 25 programs, and the categories overlap on purpose. A council program upgrading a netball court is capital works and sport and community at the same time, because that is how the funder describes it and how three different people will look for it, so this page's count and the other categories' counts do not add up to the 4,049 programs in the catalogue, and this site never adds them up.

Confirm every detail on the funder's own page before you apply. Every program here has a page of its own showing the funder, the amount, who can apply and the date it was last checked. Everything closing in the next 60 days, the directory by state and territory, or every category we track.
