Our Services.
Grant Advisory
We provide comprehensive assistance with all State and Federal Grants, including the Export Market Development Grant (EMDG), Industry Growth Program, and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Grants. Our experienced team works closely with your organisation to identify the most suitable grant opportunities available Australia wide and guide you through the entire application process. We offer tailored support to ensure your proposals are compelling and align with the specific requirements of each grant. We help you secure the funding your business deserves.
R&D Tax Incentives
The Research and Development Tax Incentives programme enables businesses to claim a proportionate percentage of their R&D expenses. At GWN Consulting, we specialise in identifying eligible R&D activities within your operations. Our comprehensive, holistic approach ensures that we meticulously manage the entire claim process from start to finish. By leveraging our expertise, we help you maximise your benefits, ensuring you receive the full financial support available to fuel your innovative projects and drive your business forward.
R&D Governance
We go beyond preparing R&D Tax Incentive claims, we assist in establishing and strengthening your internal R&D governance framework. This includes implementing clear documentation practices, refining project scoping procedures, and supporting contemporaneous record-keeping across technical and financial domains. By embedding robust governance processes into your innovation lifecycle, we help ensure your claims are not only maximised but also substantiated in alignment with legislative requirements and review readiness.
Grant Advisory
We offer specialised grant advisory services designed to support Australian businesses in accessing government and industry funding to fuel innovation, growth, and strategic development. With an in-depth understanding of the evolving grants landscape, including federal, state, local, and sector-specific programs, we proactively identify relevant grant opportunities tailored to your business objectives and operational capabilities.
Our approach begins with a detailed consultation to assess your business activities, strategic priorities, and future plans. From there, we match your initiatives with the most appropriate grants, considering both current and upcoming programs across a broad range of industries. Once opportunities are identified, we provide comprehensive end-to-end support throughout the application process. This includes advising on eligibility, defining and articulating project scopes, developing persuasive narratives, and gathering the technical and financial evidence required to satisfy funding body criteria.
Our experienced consultants craft clear, compelling submissions that align with the strategic intent of each grant program, ensuring your application stands out in a competitive funding environment. Beyond submission, we also assist with milestone tracking, reporting obligations, and post-award documentation to ensure continued compliance and effective project delivery.

R&D Governance
Strategic Scoping and Mapping
We assist in clearly defining R&D activities by working closely with your technical and financial teams to distinguish between core and supporting activities. This ensures your project documentation is well-structured, aligned with legislative definitions, and reflective of the actual work undertaken.
Contemporaneous Recordkeeping Systems
We support the implementation of tailored recordkeeping systems to help your team capture relevant evidence, such as timesheets, experimental logs, and financial allocations, as the work occurs. These systems help maintain consistent, accurate documentation across the financial year.
Governance Frameworks and Claim Integrity
We help establish internal R&D governance frameworks, including role assignments, documentation workflows, and technical review processes. This supports a structured approach to managing R&D activities and ensures consistent documentation and project oversight.
Our Governance Support Model
At GWN Consulting, we don’t just prepare R&D claims. We work alongside you throughout the year to embed effective R&D governance into your business operations. Our support model is designed to help you maintain structured, defensible, and technically sound records from project inception through to lodgement.
We take a proactive, hands-on approach to ensure your R&D activities are clearly scoped, consistently documented, and aligned with the relevant legislative framework. Through regular check-ins, practical tools, and tailored advisory sessions, we help build internal capability and streamline the recordkeeping process so that governance becomes an integrated part of your innovation lifecycle, not just an end-of-year task.
Our structured model includes:
Discovery & Scoping: Identifying eligible R&D activities and understanding your operational context
Documentation Systems: Implementing tailored templates and real-time recordkeeping processes
Periodic Reviews: Providing guidance throughout the year to ensure ongoing accuracy and consistency
Claim Preparation: Coordinating technical and financial inputs to prepare a robust R&D submission
By embedding good governance practices early, we support long-term claim integrity and reduce pressure at year-end.
