The Albanese Labor Government's Investor Front Door is now open with the start of a new pilot from today.
The Investor Front Door will make it quicker and easier for investors to back big projects that create jobs and opportunities for Australians.
It's designed to improve our investment environment by streamlining how investors and business interact with the government, helping them navigate approvals processes and fast‑track major projects where possible.
Whether it's homes, energy or essential infrastructure, this will mean more projects get off the ground more quickly.
The pilot phase will support a select number of projects of national significance. These projects will need to demonstrate they:
- Have the potential to deliver transformational opportunities to Australia.
- Will generate benefits for Australia.
- Can benefit from the Investor Front Door's services.
- Have reasonable prospect of success.
Projects selected for the pilot phase will have a dedicated engagement manager who will provide a faster way to navigate regulatory and approval requirements and identify suitable government financing opportunities from existing specialist investment vehicles.
By participating in the pilot phase, these projects will be part of testing and refining of the Investor Front Door's services.
The pilot phase will also be used to gather evidence on overlaps and gaps in Australia's regulatory environment and project financing arrangements and inform the government of areas for improvement.
