The Supply Chain Resilience Initiative provides up to $2 million to establish or scale a manufacturing capability or a related activity to address supply chain vulnerabilities for a critical product or input identified in the Sovereign Manufacturing Capability Plan.

• builds a better understanding of critical supply chains
• works with industry to identify supply options to address vulnerabilities
• addresses vulnerabilities identified in the Sovereign Manufacturing Capability Plan 
• incentivises Australian businesses to invest in capabilities through new equipment, technology, skills and processes. 

Successful applicants and projects will contribute to the program’s goals. The program aims to:

• improve Australia’s resilience to future supply chain shocks
• facilitate diversification of supply options and increase investment in the economy 
• enable diversification into export markets and reduce reliance on domestic markets
• improve collaboration between domestic and international manufacturers and suppliers
• mitigate supply chain risks for critical products 
• enhance visibility and transparency of the supply chain for critical products
• accelerate digitalisation and deeper integration of technology
