Useful information

An important source of Australian benefit is the economic activity stimulated in Australia by the presence of Australian content associated with a project or transaction. Australian content constitutes all inputs to a project or transaction that do not originate overseas.

We also take into account other benefits to Australia. These other benefits can include, but are not limited to:

• Australian content (goods or services) in a project
• greater Australian participation in international supply chains
• access to new markets or export opportunities for Australian businesses
• more Australian jobs
• payment of dividends or other financial proceeds from overseas to Australia
• new research and development expenditure in Australia
• Australian access to new products, intellectual property or technology

The type of environmental and social review we undertake is determined by the type of support you need, the nature of the project and the role of your business. Some transactions need only a short, desktop review, while others may require a detailed risk evaluation involving benchmarking and public disclosure.

We lend on a commercial basis and will need to confirm that private sector financing options are not available.
Some of the reasons why bank financing may be unavailable include:

• your business is in a high growth stage
• you may not have the level of security needed by the bank
• your transaction is in an emerging market.
