The grants are aimed at:

• improving energy efficiency and sustainability, and progressing energy and carbon footprint management

• creating and maintaining high-performing workplaces through increased management capability and leadership and development of skilled employees including advanced manufacturing apprenticeships and traineeships.

Grants are available in the SA4 Regions of Cairns, Townsville, Central Queensland, Mackay and the Gold Coast.

Round 3 is open until 30 June 2024 or until all funding is allocated.

Get in quickly — these funds are usually fully subscribed well before the closing date. And get in touch if you need a hand.
