Tender Description

The Australian Government has announced a total of $25.136 million over 5 years from 2025-26 to 2029-30 for the grant opportunity.

ASBAS Digital Solutions Round 3 will assist service providers to offer low cost, high quality advisory services to help small businesses to adopt digital tools, across 5 priority capabilities:

  • introduction to digitalising your small business
  • social media, digital marketing and selling online
  • using business software
  • AI and emerging technologies
  • cybersecurity and data privacy.

There are 3 grants available under this grant opportunity, each corresponding with a defined geographical service area. You may apply for one or more grants, to service multiple service areas. You must submit a separate application for each service area.

The maximum grant amount for each service area over 5 years is:

  • $8.819 million for Area 1 - New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory
  • $7.371 million for Area 2 - Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia
  • $8.946 million for Area 3 - South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.

The program will fund one service provider to exclusively service the small businesses located in each service area. The program will not fund proposals that plan to cover only part of a service area.

Services must cater for a range of skill levels (such as beginner, intermediate, advanced) and improve access for First Nations and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) small business owners.
