Managed by Tourism Australia’s specialist unit, Business Events Australia, the Business Events Bid Fund (BFP) provides assistance to secure new international events for Australia.
The Business Events Bid Fund Program is designed to increase the conversion of bids for new international business events in Australia through the offer of financial support at the critical bidding stage. The BFP supports the conversion of new business in situations where Australia is bidding against international competitors for the right to host the business event.
Tourism Australia recognises that bidding for international business events is an ongoing undertaking and therefore there are no deadlines for submissions to the BFP. Please note however that the BFP is only available to support bids where a decision is made by 30 June 2024 and where the event is being held by 31 December 2029.
