Guidelines—Maritime employment grant

Overview

The Queensland Government is implementing its 'Backing Queensland Maritime Jobs Initiative' (BQMJ Initiative), under which financial assistance will be made available under 3 grant programs:

  • Coastal Shipping Grant Program
  • Maritime Employment Grant Program
  • Maritime Training Grant Program

Maritime Safety Queensland, for State of Queensland, through the Department of Transport and Main Roads (referred to in these Guidelines as MSQ, We or Us, depending on the context) is responsible for administering the BQMJ Initiative.

These 'Backing Queensland Maritime Jobs initiative, Maritime Employment Grant Program Guidelines' (Guidelines) deal specifically with the Maritime Employment Grant Program. The Coastal Shipping Grant and Maritime Training Grant Programs will be dealt with in separate documents.  

These Guidelines set out: 

  • General information about the BQMJ Initiative.
  • The purpose of the Maritime Employment Grant Program.
  • The eligibility and assessment criteria.
  • How applications are to be made and how they will be considered and selected.
  • How successful applicants will be notified and receive grant payments.
  • How achievement of required milestones associated with grants will be monitored and evaluated.
  • Responsibilities and expectations in relation to the opportunity. 

This guideline provides information on how to apply for a grant under the Maritime Employment Grant Program and should be read in conjunction with both the Maritime Employment Grant Program Application form and the Maritime Employment & Training Grant Programs Terms and Conditions prior to applying. 

Backing Queensland Maritime Jobs Initiative

Queensland has around 7,000km of mainland coastline comprising large expanses within the environmentally important Great Barrier Reef, world class reaches of open beach line, the rich and diverse waters of the Gulf of Carpentaria and numerous bays, islets, inlets, and port precincts allowing for responsible access to these marine areas for both recreational and economic purposes.

Queensland has a rich history of coastal shipping assisting economic growth and achieving advances in social infrastructure across the State. However, over recent times sea transport has suffered as other transport sectors have grown with the road and rail network expanded to meet the State’s need for passenger and freight access in both coastal and inland regions. There is now a re-awakening of the advantages that an innovative and sustainable marine cargo system can contribute to the State.

Coastal shipping offers real potential for assisting economic growth, improving the resilience of the State’s supply chains and employment growth. Accordingly, the Queensland Government has committed $21 million to the BQMJ Initiative, with the goal of creating ongoing maritime jobs in Queensland. Under the BQMJ Initiative, financial assistance will be made available under 3 grant programs, as set out earlier. 

The BQMJ Initiative aims to revitalise and strengthen coastal shipping, and in doing so assist economic growth and importantly see the creation of strategically important maritime jobs and training opportunities in Queensland. This will improve Queensland's economic and logistical resilience and reduce its reliance on foreign flagged vessels and associated risks to the State’s supply lines. 

The majority of funding that will be released under the BQMJ Initiative will occur between January 2023 to June 2025.

The Maritime Employment Grant Program provides funding to facilitate the creation of new employment opportunities, including traineeships, in the marine sector. Investment in employment across the maritime industry - through the Maritime Employment Grant Program, combined with investment in maritime training - through the Maritime Training Grant Program, supports a skilled maritime workforce for Queensland.

About the Maritime Employment Grant Program

The Maritime Employment Grant Program seeks applications from capable and knowledgeable commercial entities (referred to as Applicants or You in these Guidelines, depending on the context) to engage new employees in the maritime sector. This includes employment of trainees. 

The Maritime Employment Grant Program is available to businesses in the maritime industry operating throughout Queensland. Applicants will need to demonstrate how their proposal will support the creation of viable and sustainable local maritime jobs.

Capable and knowledgeable commercial entities in the maritime industry that meet the eligibility criteria stated in these Guidelines are invited to apply using the application form located at the https://www.msq.qld.gov.au/MaritimeJobs webpage.

Applicants should note the following:

  • In responding to the selection criteria, applications must detail the amount of grant funding that they consider necessary for each new employee.
  • The Maritime Employment Grant Program offers up to $50,000 or 50% of the total employment costs for a new position (whichever is the lesser) per year for 2 years. 
  • Grants will be awarded on the basis of merit through a competitive application and selection process.  
  • Applications will be assessed by an assessment panel convened by MSQ. 
  • Successful Applicants will need to achieve agreed milestones in order to receive grant payments.

Grants under the Maritime Employment Grant Program are intended to be paid to successful Applicants progressively in agreed tranches or as other determined by MSQ, in each case subject to the Applicant entering into and complying with the terms of the formal Grant Agreement, as broadly described later in these Guidelines (Grant Agreement).

Payments

What grant funding is available?

The Maritime Employment Grant Program provides grant funding up to $50,000 or 50% of the total employment costs for a position (whichever is the lesser) per year for 2 years. The grant is available to employers to secure workers in an eligible position as defined in these guidelines. 

How will Maritime Employment Grant Program payments be distributed? 

Unless payment terms are otherwise negotiated:

  • Four payments will be made across the 2-year period of the grant. 
  • The 4 payments will be paid 6 monthly in arrears. 
  • Required documents must be provided via BQMJ@msq.qld.gov.au.

To facilitate a grant payment, employers must submit an application after each six-month period of employment. The application must include all pay advice/payslips from the six-month period of employment. 

Pay advice/payslips will be used to provide evidence of continuous permanent employment; timesheets or a payroll summary report are not sufficient. The ABN and name on the pay advice/payslips You provide must match the ABN and name on Your ABN confirmation advice and organisation account.

Pay advice/payslips must meet the minimum requirements as set out by Fair Work Australia under the Fair Work Act 2009 and the Fair Work Regulations 2009. This includes any superannuation contributions paid for the employee’s benefit, including the amount of contributions made during the pay period (or the amount of contributions that need to be made).Information on the legal requirements for pay advice/payslips is available through the Fair Work Australia website.

The BQMJ Jobs Initiative team may contact employers to provide additional pay advice/payslips to determine minimum hours worked.

We will prepare the Grant Agreement and provide You with a copy to review.  We recommend that successful Applicants seek their own independent advice before entering into a Grant Agreement.  You may elect not to enter into a Grant Agreement, but in that case, You will not be able to receive any grant funding under the Maritime Employment Grant Program.

The Grant Agreement includes Your application, the terms and conditions, and the letter of offer, which outline the approved funding, purpose of the grant, approved items, and reporting requirements.

Ceased employment / changes to employment

If a new employee for whom You are receiving grant funding ceases employment, We will pay pro-rata for the actual period of employment. After this final payment has been made the grant funding will cease for this employee.

If the new employee's employment conditions significantly change (for example, they move from full-time to part-time) after an application has been made, You must notify the BQMJ Initiative team in writing as these changes may impact Your grant funding. Any changes are to be in writing to BQMJ@msq.qld.gov.au providing:

  • The date the employment ceased or changed.
  • An explanation of the reason why the employee ceased employment or had their employment conditions altered.

This information will be held on record for program monitoring and audit purposes.  

If it is determined that a grant payment has been made for which the eligibility criteria were not met, We will seek to recover that payment.
