About the scheme

The government will provide up to a 50% rebate of the costs of purchase, and if needed, installation of eligible ADS-B devices.

Grants are:

  • for the purchase and installation of equipment that provides ADS-B IN, ADS-OUT, or both ADS-B IN and OUT functionality
  • for the purchase of low-cost portable ADS-B devices (ADS-B EC device)
  • capped at $5,000 per eligible aircraft
  • available for both visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR) Australian-registered aircraft.

If you received a grant under ADS-B Round 1, you may be eligible to apply for an additional grant under Round 2.

Make sure you check the eligibility requirements, including required documents, before purchasing and installing equipment.
