EMDG – GOODS NOT MADE IN AUSTRALIA
If your product is manufactured overseas it does not automatically exclude your business from applying for an EMDG grant. Our success rate for applications promoting products designed and developed in Australia but manufactured offshore is high.
Where goods are not made in Australia we need to show that Australia will derive a "significant net benefit" from the export endeavour. All other aspects of the EMDG grant are the same as those for applicants manufacturing in Australia.
We will be happy to discuss the individual circumstances of your business operation and advise if an EMDG claim is likely to be successful. It costs nothing to ask.
