Biosecurity Business Grants – Round 2

Overview

The Australian Government is inviting applications from Indigenous businesses, Indigenous organisations or other organisations supporting Indigenous business, to apply for a grant under Round 2 of the Biosecurity Business Grants program. The Biosecurity Business Grants program is running over 3 years from 2020–21 to 2022–23 and delivered through the Indigenous Rangers Biosecurity Program. The purpose of the grant program is to provide funding to support Indigenous business opportunities relating to biosecurity activities in northern Australia. Biosecurity activities are controls or actions that minimise the risk of exotic pests, weeds and diseases entering Australia to protect our $80 billion agriculture export industries, our unique environment, cultural and heritage values, our tourism industries and our way of life including biosecurity: surveillance/monitoring preparedness risk management capability building. The total grant funding available for Round 2 is up to $1.299 million GST exclusive. Round 2 will be offered in the 2022–23 financial year. There is no maximum grant amount but grants cannot exceed the amount of available funds. Applicants who applied in Round 1, may also apply in Round 2. Please note that GST is out-of-scope for any funding provided for this grant opportunity.
