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.

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.

- 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.
