Dear Mr Smith
On 5 January 2024, you submitted an FOI request seeking the following
documents:
Under the FOI Act, I request the total amount of money spent on small
business grants and subsidies for each of the last 5 years.
The Treasury does not hold documents containing the total amount of grants
and subsidies awarded to small business for each of the last 5 years.
The grant information you requested is publicly available on GrantConnect.
We can further advise, the Treasury is required to report details of
grants awarded on GrantConnect, an Australian Government publication which
provides centralised publication of forecast and current Australian
Government grant opportunities and grants awarded. This information is
available at the following link –

In terms of subsidies, Treasury is not responsible for administering
subsidies. As such, we do not hold any relevant data on this part of your
request.
As we do not hold the documents you requested we ask you to agree to
withdraw your FOI request. We would be grateful for a response by COB
Thursday 18 January 2024. If we do not hear from you by that date we will
proceed to a no documents decision.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please
contact the FOI team on (02) 6263 2800.
Kind regards,
