Changes to EMDG

Read about recent changes to the EMDG scheme that apply to export promotion expenditure from 1 July 2010 and applications lodged from 1 July 2011.

EMDG Initial Payment
2010-11

The initial payment ceiling is the maximum amount that will be paid as a first instalment to reimburse eligible EMDG applicants.  The initial payment ceiling for the 2010-11 grant year is $50,000.

Recipients for the 2010-11 grant year with an entitlement up to and including $50,000 will be paid in full.  Those with entitlements above this amount will receive a second tranche payment at the end of June 2012.  The size of the second tranche will be determined at that time to distribute the remaining available funding.
