Boost your business

Vouchers of up to $50,000 are available to eligible Northern Grampians Shire businesses as part of a State Government Boost Your Business program.

Voucher categories include food innovation; advanced manufacturing; defence, aerospace and security; social enterprise capability; Asia gateway; and Victoria-israel innovation.

The vouchers are designed to create jobs and opportunities for businesses by allowing them to partner with universities and industry experts to identify new export markets, explore research and development opportunities and make new products. There is also an additional funding stream – entrepreneurs with disability – in round three of the program to help people with disabilities grow their business.

Northern Grampians Shire Council mayor Kevin Erwin said the vouchers represented a great opportunity for regional businesses.

“It’s also great to see the categories broadened to feature entrepreneurs with disability, and we encourage those who fit under that category to jump online and apply,” he said.
