Closing Soon (Fixed Deadlines)

  • The Local Battery Manufacturing Program - Production Scale‑Up Stream is for established battery manufacturers in Western Australia who are ready to expand real operations — not early‑stage concepts or lab‑scale trials. It backs companies already producing batteries or battery components and looking to lift capacity, capability, and competitiveness. The stream offers up to $5 million, covering up to 50% of eligible project costs, for scaling activities including capital equipment, workforce development, facility upgrades, or specialist manufacturing expertise. If you’re manufacturing batteries in WA and ready to grow, this program is worth serious consideration. Applications close 20 March 2026. https://www.wa.gov.au/system/files/2025-11/local-battery-manufacturing-program-production-scale-up-guidelines.pdf

  • The Collaborative Development Program backs Queensland projects that advance critical minerals recovery and mine waste reprocessing. It supports real extraction, recovery and processing work. The program offers up to $100,000, with higher amounts considered on a case‑by‑case basis, for projects that unlock value from critical minerals or convert mine waste into usable products. If you’re in QLD and building something tangible in this space, it’s worth a look. The program is open now until 30 June 2026 or until funds run out. https://www.nrmmrrd.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/1854604/collaborative-development-program-guideline-for-applicants.pdf

Ongoing (Until Funds Are Exhausted)

  • The Advancing Renewables Program is ARENA’s main national fund for serious renewable‑energy innovation — not small pilots, but projects that genuinely push solar, wind, hydrogen, storage, or low‑emissions tech forward. It typically offers up to 50% co‑funding for commercially meaningful projects that can prove impact and are ready to scale.
