AUKUS SME Readiness Fund

Grant Description

The AUKUS SME Readiness Fund is a competitive grant program administered by Defence West within the Department of the Premier and Cabinet to strengthen Western Australia’s defence industry. It provides funding support of up to $100,000 (ex GST) to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to enhance their capacity and capability to participate in the AUKUS supply chain under Pillars 1 and 2—which include conventionally armed nuclear-powered submarine manufacturing and advanced technologies such as AI, robotics, quantum, cyber, and undersea systems. The program aims to position WA businesses to secure future defence contracts and support national security innovation.
