We help groups to access funding through the Australian Government’s Regional Partnership Program , and assist them to develop their projects.

The Mackay Region ACC provides an important link between the Australian Government and Regional Australia. In this capacity, our ACC is uniquely placed to respond to issues in the region and provide a vital conduit to government on local, social and economic conditions. ACCs are an example of how the Australian Government is working in partnership with business and community to achieve regional economic growth by harnessing opportunities for new jobs; actively supporting small business; assisting communities in structural reform and addressing skills development needs.
