That’s where professional grant writers like us at Whitney Consulting step in to make a difference.

Types of Grants Available in Western Australia
WA offers numerous grant opportunities designed to support growth across a range of industries. We specialise in navigating the most suitable options to maximise funding for each client. Here’s an overview of the types of grants we commonly secure:
Government Grants
Both federal and state governments offer funding initiatives that cover areas like regional infrastructure, business expansion, and community services. These grants often have strict requirements, but we know how to match clients with the right opportunities.
Community and Development Grants
These grants aim to strengthen regional communities through projects focused on sustainability, public amenities, and local services. We’ve helped several organisations secure funding to build community centres, upgrade sporting and recreational facilities, enhance parks, and support regional health programs.
Economic Development & Business Growth Grants
For regional businesses looking to expand, modernise, or launch new products, business growth and regional economic development grants provide essential financial support. We take pride in helping startups and established businesses in regional WA and Perth secure the funding needed to reach their potential.
Environmental and Sustainability Grants
WA’s environmental grants foster innovation in sustainable practices. From renewable energy projects to conservation efforts, we’ve secured funding for businesses and communities committed to a greener future.
By working with experienced grant writers based in Perth and regional WA, businesses and organisations can unlock these opportunities and make meaningful progress.
The Impact of Securing Regional Grants
Securing grants has a transformative impact on communities and businesses. Grant funding creates jobs, drives tourism, and supports sustainable growth, particularly in regional areas where resources are often limited. Here are just a few examples of how effective grant applications have made a difference:
- Tourism Growth: A small town in WA upgraded its visitor facilities and launched a new event series with the help of tourism grants, leading to an increase in both visitors and revenue.
- Agricultural Innovation: A farming cooperative invested in advanced equipment, improving productivity and creating new job opportunities in the area.
- Infrastructure Development: Regional transport systems were enhanced, making it easier for businesses to operate and reducing travel times for residents.
- Sports and Recreation: A new recreation centre was built in a regional town enabling increased community participation in sports and physical activities, delivering economic, social, and physical and mental health benefits.
Grants provide the financial foundation needed to bring ambitious projects to life, strengthening communities and supporting economic resilience.
