What WA offers
Western Australia’s New Industries Fund has supported startups through an Innovation Booster grant (up to $50,000) and a Commercialisation Bridge grant (up to $200,000). These amounts come from secondary sources, so confirm them on the WA Government / jtsi.wa.gov.au site.
A status caveat
As of this research these grants were closed and expected to reopen around Q3 2026 (timing from a secondary source — verify). Do not assume they are open. Program parameters, amounts, rates and round windows change frequently — confirm the current details on the official program page before relying on them.
How to start
Start on the WA Government site or the business.gov.au Finder. Important: these are programs a business applies for directly with the government agency or, for the R&D Tax Incentive, claims through a registered tax adviser. dgm is an independent AI-integration agency — not a registered or approved program deliverer, an Industry Growth Program adviser, or a registered R&D tax agent. dgm can help scope and build the AI project; eligibility and any claim are determined and lodged by you or a registered adviser. WA AI businesses can also use the federal programs.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Australian businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm can help you scope the AI project that a program would fund — but you apply to the program (or claim the R&D Tax Incentive with a registered adviser) directly. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
