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.

We publish AIP plan summaries and public notices as part of our compliance process.

Get support for your AIP plan

We can advise you on AIP obligations, including if and when you need an AIP plan. Consult us early in the project life cycle to make sure you understand and comply with requirements.

Each stream has a team who can:

  • help you develop your AIP plan
  • approve your AIP plans  
  • publish your AIP plan summaries on this website
  • guide you to report your activities against implemented AIP plans.
