AusIndustry

AusIndustry is the Australian Government's principal business program delivery division in the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.

AusIndustry delivers business services that build on three key drivers of economic growth:

• innovation;
• investment; and
• international competitiveness

Businesses should find AusIndustry a great resource from small business services to gaining tax concessions for expenditure on research and development. Additionally, the Department of Innovation runs grants programs to help small businesses with big and new ideas as well as providing free advice, avenues for tourism operations, a green building fund to retrofit offices and even grants towards converting vehicles to run on LPG.

AusIndustry has a TradeStart officer in Geraldton. For more information contact Janell Kopplhuber at the Midwest Development Commission, by email janell.kopplhuber@mwdc.wa.gov.au
