Australian Industry Participation

We administer policies and laws to ensure Australian businesses have opportunities to compete for work in major and Australian Government funded projects.

Australian Industry Participation requirements

Companies managing major projects or Australian Government funded projects above certain financial thresholds must meet Australian Industry Participation (AIP) requirements.

This involves giving Australian businesses full, fair and reasonable opportunities to bid to supply goods and services on the project. It also means advertising these procurement opportunities.

You may need to submit an AIP plan to show how you will do this.

There are 2 streams of AIP requirements.

Major projects

Major public and private projects with an expenditure of $500 million or more to establish or upgrade an eligible facility are subject to the Australian Jobs Act 2013.

Australian Government funded projects

Companies awarded Australian Government contracts, grants, payments or investments of $20 million or more are subject to Commonwealth Australian Industry Participation (CAIP) requirements.
