Remote Airstrip Funding Program – Round 7 – On 27th September 2019, the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, the Hon Michael McCormack MP announced the seventh round of the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program. The program provides funding to enhance the safety and accessibility of aerodromes in remote and very remote areas of Australia. Safe, operational aerodromes are vital in the delivery of essential goods and services in remote and very remote communities, particularly where road access is unavailable, unreliable or disrupted for extended periods due to seasonal weather conditions. The maximum grant amount is $3 million, however it is expected that most grants will not exceed $1.5 million. There is no minimum. The maximum project period is two years. Applications open on Tuesday 1 October 2019 and will close at 5.00pm AEDT on 12 November 2019. AusIndustry is delivering this program on behalf of the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Cities.
Manufacturing Modernisation Fund – The Minister for Industry, Science and Technology has announced applications are now open for the $50 million Manufacturing Modernisation Fund (MMF). The MMF will support small and medium size manufacturers to modernise, adopt new technologies, become more productive and create more jobs by co-funding capital investments and associated reskilling. Modernisation can include technology upgrades, efficiency upgrades, such as energy or process optimisation, or more transformative changes to a business, which will allow production of new products or diversify into new markets. The program will run over 3 years and will be delivered through two streams of funding:
- an estimated $20 million for matched grants of between $50,000 to $100,000 for small scale technology and efficiency investments; and
- an estimated $30 million for larger grants between $100,000 to $1 million, on a three to one funding basis, to support transformative investments in technologies and processes.
Sponsorship Grants for Student Science Engagement and International Competitions – The Minister for Industry, Science and Technology announced applications are now open for Sponsorship Grants for Student Science Engagement and International Competitions, a program element under the Inspiring Australia – Science Engagement Programme. These grants support organisations, such as schools and community groups, to sponsor eligible Australian students under the age of 18 to attend or participate in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) events and competitions in Australia and overseas. The funding is provided in two streams for grants between $1,000 to $20,000:
- up to $1 million per year for student participation in STEM engagement activities and events that take place in Australia or overseas
- up to $600,000 per year for student participation in international STEM competitions taking place outside Australia.
Funding is capped at $1,500 per student for domestic activities, and $5,000 per student for overseas activities. Applications will close once funding for the year runs out.
