Terms and Conditions

Grant Buddy is owned and operated by Square Digital Pty Ltd (ABN 34 608 413 609). www.grantbuddy.com.au operates as a free service that allows Australian businesses to see if they qualify for Government Grant Funding in a few simple steps.

We are not the Australian Government, a Government Grant Consultant, or a Tax Agent, and we do not provide advice on Government Grants. We act only as a lead referral partner for Government Grant specialists who are regulated by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission.

We receive a fixed fee from our partners for this referral. We do not receive commissions based on the outcome of your enquiry, nor is our fee contingent on you obtaining services from our referral partners. Our service is free to use, and you are under no obligation to accept any of the recommendations you receive, or engage in any way.

By submitting your details on this site and by clicking the "Submit" button you are consenting and agreeing to the Terms & Conditions and have read and understood the Privacy Policy, and Cookie policy.

By clicking the "Submit" button you consent to being contacted by a third party external Government Grant specialist in order to receive relevant information. All your details that you have provided on the website form will passed onto one third party only.

On completion of our form, we will introduce you to one of our external partner Government Grant specialists. We use the contact details that you have given us on the form to make this introduction. This specialist will contact you by phone, SMS and email. During that call and communication, the specialist will discuss your options in more detail to see if they can help you.

By submitting your information into grantbuddy.com.au you explicitly consent to us supplying your information to third parties and/or its representatives, and to receiving a call, SMS or email about your enquiry from our referral partner. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more details on how we collect, use, and protect your information.

We refer all enquiries that are initiated on this website to 3rd parties who are licensed to provide their respective products and/or services and quotes. Although we cover a wide range of products and services, we don’t cover every product or service available on the market. In some cases, we may not have a large selection of partners on board who can service your specific request. This could be due to your circumstances that may be unique and only serviceable by a particular provider or because Grant Buddy only has been able to come to an agreement with one product or service supplier.

Before making any decision or engaging any service provider, you should seek professional advice that considers whether it is appropriate for you in the context of your personal, business, financial circumstances, and goals. You should review the service provider’s disclosure documents, before you engage the provider.

If you decide to proceed with a specific product or service offering through a referral from grantbuddy.com.au, you will be dealing directly with the 3rd party company and (or) its representatives of that product or service and no longer with grantbuddy.com.au/Grant Buddy owned by Square Digital Pty Ltd.

We are not responsible for services provided by third party service providers and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, are not liable for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the use or reliance on services provided by those third party service providers.
