Australia's COVID-19 vaccine information campaign begins
Minister for Health Greg Hunt said the Australian Government's $23.9 million public information campaign to encourage Australians to get a COVID-19 vaccine begins today. The campaign will keep Australians fully informed and up to date about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines as they become available, including when, how and where to get the jab. This follows Australia's first COVID-19 vaccine approval by the Therapeutic Goods Administration - for the Pfizer vaccine. From the start of the pandemic, the COVID-19 campaign has been a trusted source of information for the community. The new vaccine campaign will build on this, providing timely, transparent and credible information to all Australians.

Australian defence industry benefits from latest batch of grants
Eight Australian small businesses will share in more than $3.4 million in grants as part of the Federal Government's continued push to grow Australia's sovereign defence industry. Minister for Defence Industry Melissa Price said the latest round of Sovereign Industrial Capability Priority grants would provide the businesses and the wider Australian economy with a major boost. "Weld Australia, based in NSW, is a great example of how beneficial these grants can be," Minister Price said. "It is bringing a welding accreditation to Australia, developing Australian supply chains for the Land 400 Phase 2 project and beyond, and ensuring we have the skills in Australia to deliver and sustain critical defence capabilities." Canberra-based Penten, Australian Performance Vehicles (Campbellfield, Victoria) and Gilmour Space Technologies (Gold Coast) will use their grant funding to upgrade their infrastructure used to test and evaluate emerging technologies and capabilities.

The Morrison Government today announced NBN Co, Concerotel and Zetifi as the first three grant recipients under its competitive $2 million Alternative Voice Services Trials (AVST) Program.

"The trials are a great opportunity for new players to demonstrate new ways to provide better voice services, more in line with changing consumer needs particularly for greater mobility," Minister Fletcher said. "I'm particularly pleased to see two small, innovative companies - Concerotel and Zetifi - in this first tranche of grants." NBN Co will deliver up to 260 trial voice services across Australia, including across its fixed wireless and satellite networks, as well as trialling a low band fixed wireless solution.
