Queensland's grant programs are administered through Business Queensland, Advance Queensland, QRIDA and a network of industry bodies including Screen Queensland. The state has strong funding for agricultural businesses, regional development, tourism, screen production and technology startups. Queensland's geographic diversity — from Far North Queensland to South-East Queensland — is reflected in dedicated regional programs. Federal programs supplement state initiatives, giving Queensland businesses access to a large pool of combined funding.

  • Advance Queensland funds technology and innovation projects from research through to commercialisation
  • QRIDA administers rural and primary industry programs for Queensland farmers and agribusinesses
  • Screen Queensland supports local screen production with grants and production incentives
