The Albanese Government is ensuring small businesses have the skills and confidence to make the most of digital technologies.
Minister for Small Business Dr Anne Aly today invited small business advisory organisations to apply for Round 3 of the Digital Solutions grants, to help small businesses across Australia to grow in the digital economy.
"We're continuing to support small businesses by helping them to confidently navigate the digital landscape," said Dr Anne Aly.
"The rapidly changing technology landscape can be hard to keep up with, so we're ensuring Australian small businesses have the tools they need to thrive online.
"The successful Digital Solutions program has already helped over 60,000 small businesses with low‑cost, high‑quality digital advisory services."
Advisory organisations with a proven track record of engaging culturally and linguistically diverse and First Nations small businesses are encouraged to apply.
The Digital Solutions program helps small businesses to improve productivity by making the most of digital tools to sell online, develop digital marketing campaigns, implement business software, and strengthen cyber security practices.
Under the program, small businesses can access free workshops, webinars and self‑directed tutorials. Small businesses can also access up to 4 hours of tailored one‑on‑one coaching from an experienced business advisor for a small fee.
Round 3 of Digital Solutions includes a new focus on AI and emerging technologies and will help small businesses access digital productivity opportunities.
