OK, so as long as you are eligible to apply, you also need to be aware that applications open 9am on 4 May 2022 and close as soon as the QLD Government receives enough applications for a competitive assessment! (They’re still open)
In the last round of funding, applications closed only a FEW DAYS after opening, so it’s critical we prepare your business in advance with the necessary documents and quotes. We will be able to support your business with this within the required timeframe, but there are a few things you can get started with, and before we call you:
To Get Started…
Step 1:
First up, we recommend registering for a ‘QLD Gov Grants Application Account’ (if you don’t already have one). This is completely free, and allows you to apply for your $5,000.00 grant when applications open:

Step 3:
The final step is securing a detailed supplier quote for digital services. We can provide this for you, along with all other requirements for this grant application. We will call you prior to supplying this, as we need to discuss your digital requirements and business goals in order to maximise your opportunity here.
