How we can help?
Government Funding Report
The competitive grant landscape is dynamic, with new programmes announced sporadically and often with short application deadlines. Each program also has its own combination of eligibility and merit requirements.
We specialise in helping implement a coordinated approach to identify and apply for grant funding. We work closely with you to analyse and align your upcoming projects with relevant funding categories, saving you the hassle of sifting through announcements, databases and guidelines. Our experience and access to specialised databases streamlines the process, ensuring you identify tailored funding opportunities that align perfectly with your objectives.
In our experience, companies with formal, coordinated strategies for grant applications increase their chances of securing funding. We can partner with you to help you find the best-fit programmes to support your objectives.
Getting Grant Ready
We can help you achieve ‘grant readiness’ in advance of pursuing the right grant program. This ensures you are optimally positioned to attract government support for your planned projects and investments.
From the start of our partnership, we will work with you to create a project register to systematically categorise your projects within common grant funding categories. We provide strategic support prior to the preparation of grant applications including input into the planning of the identified projects to ensure they are best positioned to attract government investment.
We can work with you to prepare a suite of supporting documents, such as project plans, budgets and governance documents, that are essential to access many grant opportunities and will ensure you're ready to strike when the right program open.
Preparing Grant Applications
When the right grant funding opportunity arises, we can provide you with customised services to help you prepare a compelling application that will stand out and give you the best chance of success.
Our grant application service can be as simple as reviewing what you have prepared, providing a second pair of eyes and the benefit of our experience in this space. Alternatively, we can provide in-depth advice and support with comprehensive management of all aspects of the grant application process so that your time is preserved for other business activities.
We’ve helped clients secure funding from a diverse range of grant programs including the Medical Research Future Fund, the Modern Manufacturing Initiative, Cooperative Research Centres Projects, and the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre program.
Our extensive experience with grant applications at different levels of government ensure that we can help you craft the strongest arguments for funding and maximise your chances of attracting much needed financial support.
Post Award Support
Securing a grant is only the beginning. Many funded projects involve multi-partner collaborations, and all of them come with ongoing compliance and reporting obligations to manage. We help clients navigate this next phase with confidence.
Working closely with trusted legal partners, we help ensure your partnerships are built on a solid foundation, with well-defined agreements, strong IP protection, and efficient governance structures in place.
Once the essential agreements are in place, we help you efficiently manage the project and report to stakeholders throughout its life. This includes tracking progress and providing reporting services to ensure government bodies, collaborators and other relevant stakeholders are consistently and comprehensively informed about project progress, variations and any potential risks.
Grant Audits
Many major grant programs require recipients to provide an independent audit report at the end of the project, verifying that grant funds were spent in accordance with the grant agreement. This typically involves preparing a statement of grant income and expenditure and having it independently audited before submission of the end of project report.
We have experience conducting grant audits and a strong understanding of the grant budget and reporting process that sits behind them. Our team includes staff holding qualifications required to perform this work, including a Chartered Accountants Certificate of Public Practice.
Audit costs are eligible expenditure under many of these programs, including CRC-P and MRFF, so this is often a service we can often deliver as part of your funded project budget. For more information check out our Grant Audits FAQ.
