Grant Writing Services for Australian Businesses
Securing grant funding can be transformative for an Australian business — but grant applications are demanding, competitive, and easy to get wrong. Public Sector Contracts brings over 15 years of experience writing successful grant proposals for businesses, not-for-profits, and community organisations across Australia. We know how to identify the right opportunities, craft compelling applications, and submit submissions that win.
Our grant writing service covers the full process — from identifying suitable grants and assessing your eligibility, through to writing, reviewing, and submitting the final application. We work across all major Australian government grant programs at federal, state, and local levels.
We’ve helped clients apply for state-based small business innovation grants and council-funded community programs, and we’re well-versed in eligibility requirements for the more common federal and state schemes.

We’ve secured funding for businesses, not-for-profits, and community organisations across industries including construction, Defence, agriculture, and professional services.

Our deep understanding of government funding objectives means we write applications that speak directly to what grant assessors are looking for.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a grant writer charge in Australia?
Grant writing fees in Australia are typically structured as a fixed fee per application, based on the complexity of the guidelines and the amount of work involved — a straightforward small business grant looks very different from a large, multi-stage submission. Some grant writers also work on a partial success-fee basis, though we recommend being cautious of arrangements that rely heavily on contingency. At Public Sector Contracts, we don’t work off a rate card — we’ll always provide a clear, individually assessed quote upfront based on the specific grant and the work involved.
What types of grants can you apply for on my behalf?
We work across federal, state, and local government grant programs, including small business innovation grants, export development grants, regional development funding, and industry-specific programs. We assess each opportunity against your business profile before recommending whether it’s worth pursuing.
How do I know if my business is eligible for a government grant?
Eligibility depends on the specific grant — factors typically include business size, industry, location, turnover, and the nature of the project being funded. We start every engagement with a quick eligibility check against the grant guidelines so you’re not investing time in an application you’re unlikely to qualify for.
How long does a grant application take to prepare?
Most grant applications take between 1 and 4 weeks to prepare properly, depending on the complexity of the guidelines and how much information we need to gather from you. Some programs have shorter or rolling application windows, so timing depends on the specific grant. |
What information do you need from me to write a grant application?
We typically need a clear picture of your business/organisation, the project or activity you want funded, your budget, and any supporting evidence like quotes, business plans, or financial statements the grant guidelines require. We’ll provide a simple checklist at the start of the engagement so you know exactly what to gather.
