There’s $500,000 to $5,000,000 with a total funding pool of$8.2 million in NSW Government funding sitting on the table right now — and most eligible businesses don’t know it exists.

$1.1 billion is available to fund low carbon fuel production in Australia. Most eligible businesses haven't heard about it yet.

The Australian Government has committed $1.1 billion through the Cleaner Fuels Programme — delivered by ARENA — to establish a domestic low carbon liquid fuels (LCLF) industry.

This is not a small-business grant. It targets project developers and producers with advanced-stage projects approaching a final investment decision — particularly in sustainable aviation fuels and hard-to-abate transport sectors.

What makes this unusual: it offers production-linked incentives over 10 years. Not a one-off payment. A sustained financial mechanism tied to what you actually produce.

The programme is not yet open — but early engagement with ARENA and preparation of your project documentation now will position you ahead of applicants who wait for guidelines to drop.

Swipe through our carousel for a full breakdown of eligibility, key dates, and how to prepare.

The collapse of an industry icon is a wake-up call for every Australian founder.

The recent news regarding Fishburners highlights a critical reality: even the most vibrant communities aren't immune to funding volatility. If you are relying solely on private capital, your runway might be shorter than you think.

Strategic government grants and investment programs are no longer just "nice to haves” - they are essential tools for risk management and long-term stability.

Don't wait for a cash flow crisis to diversify your funding strategy. Contact Pattens Group today for a confidential discussion.

The 2026 Federal Budget: A New Era for R&D Compliance

The landscape for the Australian R&D Tax Incentive is shifting. The 2026 Federal Budget proposes higher offset rates and expanded access for businesses with up to $50 million turnover—a significant win for genuine innovators.

However, there is a critical catch: Compliance is about to get much tougher.

With the ATO and AusIndustry set to intensify technical nexus reviews, the days of “retrospective reconstruction” are rapidly disappearing. To succeed under these new rules, businesses must prioritise:

👉 Stronger Technical Documentation: substantiating claims with contemporaneous records.
👉 Rigorous Nexus Analysis: clearly linking expenditure to experimental activities.
👉 Governance Frameworks: moving beyond "filling out forms" to strategic claim management.

At Pattens Group, we’ve spent over 35 years helping businesses navigate these complexities. Experience in this evolving environment is no longer just an advantage—it is the difference between a successful claim and a costly problem.

$5 billion in concessional finance is now open for industrial decarbonisation.

This is concessional finance, not a grant or rebate. It is patient, below-market capital designed to support projects that commercial finance may not yet back.

The Net Zero Fund, delivered through the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC), is open to proposals from:

→ Hard-to-abate industrial manufacturers such as steel, aluminium, cement, and chemicals

→ Manufacturers of renewable and low-emissions technologies

→ Energy-intensive facilities undertaking electrification or fuel switching

→ Businesses supporting Australia’s renewable and low-emissions supply chains

There is no fixed closing date, but funding capacity is finite and early engagement with the NRFC is strongly recommended.

If your business operates in one of these sectors and you are considering a decarbonisation or clean technology investment, now is the time to act.

For more info, visit our Net Zero Fund page: https://pattens.com/grants/net-zero-fund-national-reconstruction-fund-corporation-nrfc/

Australian manufacturers and logistics operators may now be eligible for zero-interest loans designed to help stabilise critical supply chains.

The Australian Government has fast-tracked $6.15 billion from the National Reconstruction Fund to support nationally significant supply chains, including fuels, plastics, fertilisers and agricultural inputs.

Through the Economic Resilience Program, eligible businesses can access zero-interest loans of up to $5 million via participating banks, with larger facilities available directly through the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation.

This funding is designed to help businesses manage cost shocks, maintain production and build long-term resilience in critical supply chains.

If your business is feeling pressure from global disruptions, rising costs or input shortages, this could be a timely opportunity to strengthen your position.

Check out the NRF page on our website for more details: https://pattens.com/grants/national-reconstruction-fund/

The Queensland Government just backed a $30 million agricultural innovation fund — and expressions of interest are open right now.

If you are building in AgTech, on-farm technology, food production, sustainability, or agricultural supply chain innovation, this is worth reading.

The Sowing the Seeds of Farming Innovation Fund (SSFIF) is a venture investment fund administered by QIC, not a traditional grant. That means it is structured to back scalable, early to growth-stage businesses with real capital, not just one-off project funding.

Here is what we know so far:

✅ $30M total fund pool
✅ Queensland-focused — must demonstrate impact on primary industries
✅ Targets: AgTech, sustainability solutions, on-farm productivity, and supply chain innovation
✅ Investment stage: Early to growth-stage companies
✅ Formal rounds have not opened yet — now is the time to position

We have put together a carousel breaking down everything you need to know before submitting an expression of interest.
