Application process
The submission window is open for 8 weeks for each round and includes both an Expression of Interest Form (EOI) and Application Form within this time.
We will progress or reject your EOI Form within 7 days of you submitting it. If you are progressed, you will receive on email an invite only Application Form.
Important: The earlier you complete the EOI Form, the longer you’ll have to complete the Application Form, should you be successful. The submission window is 8 weeks across both stages
Prepare your application
Both the EOI Form and invite only Application Form are online forms. However, you can view the questions for each on the below PDF Documents, giving you time to prepare your written answers.
You cannot submit these PDF Documents as your application.
Joint applications
We will be accepting joint applications – so there is an option to combine funds and strengthen skillsets.
For joint proposals, only one of the needs to meet the eligibility criteria. We will also be actively matchmaking applicants through the Expression of Interest window.
If you are interested in submitting a joint proposal, but do not know who to approach, complete the below form.
