The Regional Jobs Fund (RJF) looks to support projects which create employment opportunities across industry sectors where regional competitive advantage exists. The RJF provides Victorian Government financial assistance primarily to businesses seeking to develop and expand operations in regional Victoria.
The aim of the RJF is to attract new investment, create new jobs, and in some cases retain existing jobs in regional Victoria and to support businesses to improve their productivity and competitiveness.
The RJF program will consider the following types of projects resulting in the retention and creation of new jobs, development of business innovation and productivity, as well as the provision of utilities and infrastructure. Some examples include but are not limited to:
investment to develop new facilities, expand existing facilities and repurposed facilities.
projects introducing new technologies, plant and equipment and systems to improve productivity, competitiveness and business growth
projects enhancing the skills of the workforce to raise productivity
the introduction of innovations, technologies, equipment and processes to develop and increase exports
projects improving supply chain efficiencies through collaborative projects
