Your central guide to government-backed business support, grants, workshops, and advisory programs across Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.
The Community Support Hub is your starting point for navigating small business support across three major regions: Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. Each region offers its own mix of grants, advisory services, capability programs, workshops, concierges, and innovation pathways — but most business owners don’t know where to look or how to access them.
This page gives you a clear, structured overview of what’s available and guides you to the dedicated support hub for your city. Whether you’re starting a business, stabilising operations, or preparing to grow, the resources listed here can help you build capability and momentum more quickly.
