REMINDER - BOOK INTO OUR FREE APPLICATION WRITING WORKSHOPS


NOTE: NEW SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE SESSIONS ADDED AND NOW OPEN FOR BOOKINGS

 

Grant applications are now invited for the TCF Small Business Program. Closing date is Friday 26 February 2010.


A maximum of $50,000 is available for each successful project and up to $2.5 million is available for projects in 2010/11. 


The TCF Small Business Program is a competitive, merit-based grants program that aims to improve the business enterprise culture of TCF small businesses.


Successful projects are to be directed at transforming decision-making and production processes, and making the business more entrepreneurial.


The TCF Small Business Program is open to any eligible TCF small business or consortium which includes a textile, clothing or footwear small business. An eligible small business will:

  • have fewer than 20 employees
  • undertake eligible TCF activities (eg: manufacturing or designing for manufacture in Australia. A business that solely imports overseas product, or only undertakes retail activities is not eligible)
  • not have received assistance under the TCF (SIP) or TCF Post-2005 (SIP) Schemes.

For more information about the program, please click here or contact the AusIndustry hotline on 13 28 46 or email hotline@ausindustry.gov.au


AusIndustry will also be hosting a series of national workshops to help applicants focus on what makes a competitive application.  The workshops are recommended for applicants who have reviewed eligibility, have a specific project in mind and have started writing their application.
