The TQMGP is a three-year $79.1 million program. There will be six rounds, one opening every six months across three years.
The Transforming Queensland Manufacturing Grants Program (TQMGP) is helping shape the future of Queensland’s manufacturing sector. Through this new program, the Queensland Government is investing in innovation, advanced technology and job creation to strengthen the state’s economy and position Queensland as a leader in modern manufacturing.
The TQMGP will support an eligible Queensland-based manufacturing SME by reimbursing up to 50 per cent of the eligible project costs for projects undertaken by an SME.
Grants between $100 000 and $1 500 000 are available for:
• Advanced manufacturing equipment which meets program objectives (up to 50 per cent of eligible costs)
• Software purchasing to support system integration and manufacturing process improvement e.g. enterprise resource planning (ERP), material requirements planning (MRP), manufacturing execution system (MES).
Applications for Round 1 are now open
Eligible Queensland-based manufacturers can apply for matched funding grants of $100,000 to $1.5 million for projects that are:
- facilitating pathways for export opportunities
- reshoring or onshoring manufacturing activity currently undertaken interstate or overseas
- improving manufacturing productivity and competitiveness
- stimulating private sector investment and generating jobs.
Applications for Round 1 close on Thursday, 16 April 2026 at 1pm.
