Manufacturing Modernisation Fund

This week, we are highlighting the Manufacturing Modernisation Fund.

Quick Guide

The $50 million Manufacturing Modernisation Fund supports manufacturers to modernise their business. This includes adopting new technologies, becoming more productive and creating more jobs. The Australian government are co-funding capital investments and associated reskilling.

Modernisation can include:

The program will run over 3 years.
