Financial Assistance Applications

MRIWA strongly encourages industry-initiated research and projects involving companies from the Western Australian mining equipment, technology and services (METS) sector.

There is no minimum or maximum level of funding which can be applied for. However, all applications must include co-investment from the project’s participating organisations.

We are currently updating our Funding Guidelines and associated application materials to better support innovative research aligned with our strategic priorities.

Updated guidelines for general applications will be available in January 2026.

The next funding round will close on Tuesday, 3 March 2026.

We encourage all potential applicants to register their interest and stay informed by contacting us at research@mriwa.wa.gov.au

Please register so we can keep you up to date on further announcements and resources to help you prepare a strong application.
