Growth Grants
How The Australian Grants Process Work
Securing government funding can be a game-changer for your business, but the application process is notoriously complex, time-consuming, and strict. One minor oversight can mean the difference between a fully funded project and a missed opportunity.
At Growth Grants, we remove the guesswork. Founded by Tessa Tolhurst, our consultancy brings years of high-level corporate advisory experience straight to your business. We don’t just give advice; we handle the heavy lifting from start to finish. By managing the strategic drafting, compliance checks, and evidence gathering for you, we protect your time and maximize your chances of success.
4 Step Approval Process
From Simple to Complex
Here is our proven, step-by-step framework for turning your project goals into winning grant applications.
Step 1
Eligibility & Alignment Check
Before writing a single word, we deeply analyse your business goals against current guidelines. We make sure you are targeting the right grant at the right time, saving you weeks of wasted effort on funding you can’t win.
Step 2
Strategy & Evidence Gathering
Great applications rely on data, not fluff. We work closely with you to gather the necessary evidence—financial forecasts, project milestone plans, and market validation—to build a rock-solid business case.
Step 3
The Deep Work
We translate your vision into the specific technical language government assessors look for. We draft, review, and meticulously polish every answer to ensure it explicitly hits every single merit criterion.
Step 4
Submission & Beyond
We package and submit your finalized, compliance-checked application ahead of the deadline. Once submitted, we guide you on what to expect during the acquittal and reporting phases when your funding lands.
