The Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) is a key Australian government program to help SME exporters and some Australian-based businesses offering services to overseas residents.

In 2021/22 the grant program was significantly changed when it was re orientated to require businesses to submit an application prior to incurring the expenditure and that application was then assessed by Austrade to determine eligibility and then a contract was offered to the business for the implementation of the program outlined in the application with the businesses receiving progress payments of the grant approved amount.

The program is designed to bring benefits to Australia by encouraging the creation, development and expansion of foreign markets for Australian products and services and assisting Australian-based businesses that are keen to attract foreign residents to their Australian businesses which normally are involved in the tourism and associated industries.

The support under this program is implemented by providing targeted financial assistance, for promotional activities and development of marketing skills to Australian SMEs and their representative organisations
