I don't know where to find grants
Have you ever missed out on funding because you didn’t even know it was available until after the fact?
We stay updated with the latest funding opportunities, and we’ll find the best grants for your business—quickly. No more missing out.
I don't have time to coordinate the submission
A winning grant application takes planning, coordination, motivation, and priority setting.
It isn’t your business to spend all day working on grants. But at GrantHelper, that’s exactly what we do.
I don't have ability to write the application
Short on time? It’s tempting to push your grant writing tasks to the bottom of your to-do list. But doing this will result in a rushed, poor-quality application.
We know last-minute applications almost never succeed. So don’t waste your time on a weak application—speak to us about our grant writing services.
The fastest, most convenient and affordable grant consulting services in Australia
We specialise in helping businesses secure government grants of six figures or more through our three-step Winning Grants Strategy.

Government grants can give your business the financial support it needs to bring growth plans to life, create new jobs, and deliver innovative and impactful projects. Funding also helps to mitigate financial risk and alleviate pressure on your business’s cash flow. But first, you’ll need to convince the assessors that your business is worth investing in.
That’s where GrantHelper comes in.
We find the most winnable grants for your business, develop your plan, and write and submit your application. Let’s work together to put your best foot forward and put you in position to win.
A good strategy guides each step of your grant application, making the process quick and efficient. For over 10 years, we’ve used our process to help hundreds of businesses win millions of dollars’ worth of Government funding.
Our Winning Grants Process contains three steps: Discovery, Compose, Submit.
We start by getting to know your business and creating your tailor-made grant application.
First, we find your best grant opportunity—or assess your plans if you have a grant in mind. Then we get to work on your business case.
In step two, we compile all the required financial information and technical details.
Then we develop clear and concise responses to every question, ensuring the responses meet all criteria, and everything is laid out just how the assessors would like it.
Before we submit, we conduct final checks and make a full review of your submission content to confirm that everything is as it should be.
This final step can also include any post-submission reporting that needs to be made down the track.

“I enjoy hiking and have been lucky to visit Nepal several times. I would never consider hiking around the Nepalese Alps without a guide—a Sherpa—for they know how to traverse the difficult landscape. The Sherpa keeps me safe and secure, and on track to succeed. In this same way, as your Grant Helper, consider me your guide, your Sherpa for achieving success with grants.”
