Export Marketing Development Grants

Export Marketing Development Grants (EMDG) provide substantial cash rebates, up to $150,000 per annum, for expenses spent on marketing your products and services overseas.

The EMDG scheme supports a wide range of industry sectors and products, and is funded by the Australian Government. It:

– encourages small and medium sized Australian businesses to develop export markets

– reimburses up to 50% of eligible export promotion expenses above $5,000 provided that the total expenses are at least $15,000 (this can be over 2 financial years for first-time applicants)

– provides up to 8 grants to each eligible applicant

E.g. if your eligible expenditure was $100,000 then your rebate would be up to $47,500: ($100,000 – $5,000) x 50% = $47,500.

It is non-competitive so if you are eligible and apply, you will receive a grant and the dates for applications are 1 July to 30 November. Eligible expenses include:

• Overseas Representatives
• Marketing Consultants
• Marketing Visits
• Communications
• Free Samples (Product Promotion)
• Trade Fairs and Promotional Events
• Promotional Literature and Advertising (including websites, Google adwords)
• Overseas Buyers Visiting Australia
• Registration and Insurance of Intellectual Property
