Helping people to start successful businesses.  This new, flexible self-employment program will allow Australians to access tailored support to start and run viable small businesses.

Working with unemployed people and job seekers; those who are under-employed and seeking a side hustle; owners of existing micro-businesses; Culturally and Linguistically Diverse people, refugees, people with disability, and Indigenous Australians.

The program is open to people who are unemployed, under-employed and owners of existing micro-businesses (with up to 4 employees) who need support for the business to be commercially viable.

Sea to Valley Startups delivers services that:

  • increase awareness of opportunities for self-employment by promoting small business ownership as a path to financial independence
  • achieve labour market outcomes by supporting unemployed and under-employed Australians to become self-employed business owners
  • help existing micro-business owners improve your viability by delivering services that maximise the likelihood that your businesses will operate commercially.

Funded by the Australian Government, via Workforce Australia, book in for a 15 minute chat via admin@seatovalleystartups.com.au to see if Self-Employment Assistance is for you.

Have a business idea or already running one? What if real support—including coaching, training, and even an allowance or funding—was just a conversation away?

Too many business owners try to do it all themselves—juggling everything, burning out, and feeling stuck when things don’t go to plan. Sound familiar?

Now imagine having a business that runs smoothly, brings in income, and gives you back control—with expert support, a solid plan, and a coach in your corner.

That’s exactly what the Self-Employment Assistance program offers.

Delivered by Sea to Valley Startups, this free, flexible support helps you build a business that works. Whether you're just starting out or need to refocus, you can access:

  • 12 months of tailored Small Business Coaching
  • Optional accredited small business training
  • Business health checks and hands-on Get Stuff Done sessions
  • Marketing and business plan development
  • Support with eligible business expenses
  • Workshops to explore your self-employment potential
  • Referrals to a network of programs and services

You don’t have to go it alone.

Let’s have a quick chat and see if this program is the right fit for you—your business journey could start here.
