Creative Kids and Create NSW Grants

Create NSW is offering grants and other forms of assistance to Creative Kids providers and artists that operate through small or medium arts organisations. This includes small project grants, the COVID-19 rescue and restart package, a slate development fund for production companies, and much more.

Exporters Assistance

The Australian Government has designated almost $13 million towards supporting small and medium exporters across NSW. These funds are being used to create new jobs and support packages for exporters struggling under COVID-19.

The support package is a $10,000 grant that can be claimed by up to 1,000 export-ready or export capable businesses in the state. This will allow them the flexibility they need to re-enter old markets and start over in new ones.
