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.

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.
