Grant agreements

Successful TQMGP applicants are required to execute a grant agreement with the Queensland Government. Information about the agreement is in the guidelines.

Under this agreement, the Queensland Government may require security arrangements as part of executing a funding agreement. Applicants should confirm their financier or bank is satisfied with these arrangements before applying.

Alternatively, security over assets can be provided instead of a bank guarantee.
