EMDG Round 1 is closed.

Round 1 was open to applications from 16 August to 30 November 2021.

Round 1 milestone reports submission

The EMDG online portal is open for Round 1 milestone reports. It will close towards the end of 2024-25 financial year. Reports can be submitted now for expenditure incurred in the 2023-24 financial year.

All grantees must submit a milestone report. The earlier you submit your report, the earlier you can receive payment. We review milestone reports in the order we receive them.

Before you submit your report, check information about milestone reporting timelines, payments and your obligations. Read more at Milestone reports and payments.
