Hosting professional development seminars and events

Funding contributions are available to eligible companies and incorporated organisations for staging a professional development event in accordance with the Industry Development Guidelines. Such funding is limited to venue hire, equipment hire and speaker’s fees/travel.

  • For small companies or incorporated associations, this is capped at $2 500 per event or $5 000 per organisation for a series of events in a financial year.
  • For larger organisations with a demonstrated history of success, there is no yearly cap. The level of funding available for proposals is limited by availability of program funds.

In addition to the Guidelines, all hosted events will need to lodge a COVID-19 Safety Plan as part of their application.

We will not fund operational expenditure, wages or promotion and marketing costs. Preference will be given to proposals which are not already supported by other business units within the Department of State Growth. Please read the Industry Development Guidelines before applying.
