Helping Australian exporters

Building resilience and diversification

In response to an increasing level of global economic uncertainty, the Australian Government has launched the Accessing New Markets Initiative (ANMI).

Managed by Austrade in close collaboration with national peak industry bodies, ANMI is a A$50 million, 2-year surge program. ANMI will help Australian exporters by building the resilience and diversification of Australia’s exports.

ANMI will support additional in-market trade advisors, enhanced offshore events, and new strategic initiatives. By strengthening relationships with industry and working across government, ANMI aims to deliver enduring outcomes, building long-term trade resilience and growth opportunities for Australian businesses.

Trade Diversification Network (TDN)

The heart of ANMI

ANMI will build on and leverage the established capabilities of national peak industry bodies and Austrade, through the establishment of a new Trade Diversification Network – representing Australian exporters.

Eligible national peak industry bodies who successfully join the TDN, will work hand-in-hand with government to design activities to support their members. National peak industry bodies will help ensure ANMI activities are fit-for-purpose, and deliver the best support for Aussie exporters looking to diversify and grow into new markets.

Applications to join the TDN close Tue 14 Oct 2025.

To apply to join the TDN, national peak industry bodies:

will go through a competitive application process
must provide all the information requested
will be assessed against the minimum conditions of participation and evaluation criteria.

Fast, flexible, targeted support

As competition over export markets intensifies, ANMI will help ensure Australian businesses are ready to seize opportunities as they emerge. Austrade will collaborate with Commonwealth departments and state and territory agencies to ensure coordinated delivery of the program.
