We just received this from the Queensland Government:

Applications for Round 3 of the Business Basics grants program were due to open at 9 am today.

Applicants are advised that due to unprecedented nationwide technical issues with the application portal (SmartyGrants), the application process has now been closed. This decision was made in order to maintain equity and transparency for this grant round.

The Department of Employment, Small Business and Training will provide an update as soon as technical issues are resolved and provide notice of a revised opening date and time.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Looks like we’ll need to wait for another opening date :(

We’ll keep you posted if there are any important announcements or clarity on the opening date for this round of the grants.
