The Export Performance Test will apply for the 2020-21 grant year again, from 1 July 2021, after the Government waived the export performance test requirements for those applying for a grant for the 2019–20 grant year, because of the negative impacts that Covid-19 brought.
For applications made for the EMDG 2020-21 grant year, an Initial Payment Ceiling Amount (IPCA), or first tranche payment of $30,000 has been determined.
