Solar Victoria is the organisation that administers the States ZEV subsidy program. As reported last year in our Victorian Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) Subsidy Training Dealer Bulletin, customers now receive their $3,000 subsidy payment at the point-of-sale through car Dealerships.

Dealers are required to use the Solar Victoria portal to apply for the $3,000 subsidy. Solar Victoria will continue to offer Dealers training to apply the subsidy through the portal and have also produced promotional resources including factsheets, flyers, social media & web graphics, vehicle decals and showroom videos. A full list of downloadable resources can be found on their website.

End of year funding grants are currently available to women who work in the automotive sector to support their participation in a professional development program.

The fee support opportunity provides a scholarship of up to $5,000 for women to take part in one of three leadership courses.

The grants have been provisioned for use by women right across the country, with a specific focus on the automotive sector, but must be allocated by the end of 2020. The programs are suitable for junior managers right through to executive level women.

Expressions of Interest are being sourced until 4^th December (unless allocated prior).
