  • independent guidance and insight about your customer’s needs and requirements
  • a customised action plan with recommendations for improvement

How to apply
Before applying you should read the Customer Information Guide [2].
 
If you are not already participating in a project you should first check that your customer is willing to be contacted by a Business Adviser or Business Facilitator and supports your application. This will help you get the most out of the service.
 
The Business Evaluation service [3] might be of interest if you don't have support from your customer and there are no existing supply chain projects suitable for your business.
 
If you have identified a business opportunity across your supply chain and would like us to work with your suppliers to help them build the capability required, email supplychainfacilitation@industry.gov.au [4].
 
To apply, fill in the online application form [5].
