The Albanese Labor Government’s Investor Front Door is now open with the start of a new pilot from today.
The Investor Front Door will make it quicker and easier for investors to back big projects that create jobs and opportunities for Australians.
It’s designed to improve our investment environment by streamlining how investors and business interact with the government, helping them navigate approvals processes and fast‑track major projects where possible.
Whether it’s homes, energy or essential infrastructure, this will mean more projects get off the ground more quickly.
The pilot phase will support a select number of projects of national significance. These projects will need to demonstrate they:
- Have the potential to deliver transformational opportunities to Australia.
- Will generate benefits for Australia.
- Can benefit from the Investor Front Door’s services.
- Have reasonable prospect of success.
Projects selected for the pilot phase will have a dedicated engagement manager who will provide a faster way to navigate regulatory and approval requirements and identify suitable government financing opportunities from existing specialist investment vehicles.
By participating in the pilot phase, these projects will be part of testing and refining of the Investor Front Door’s services.
The pilot phase will also be used to gather evidence on overlaps and gaps in Australia’s regulatory environment and project financing arrangements and inform the government of areas for improvement.
More information on the program, including project criteria, is available on the Investor Front Door website.
Speeding up approvals was a big feature of the Albanese Government’s Economic Reform Roundtable, and there was strong support for the Investor Front Door.
Contributions at the Roundtable will continue to guide the government’s thinking and policymaking in the lead up to the budget and beyond.
Unlocking investment in transformational projects will make our economy more prosperous and productive and create opportunities for our workers and businesses and the Investor Front Door is an important part of that.
