This page also shows a tight temporal concentration: 5 of the 15 entries (Immutep $2M on 2022-09-06; 1receipt® $20K on 2022-09-05; Spacecubed $6M on 2022-07-22; PainChek $270K on 2022-07-05; Akin $100K on 2022-06-20) fall between 2022-06-20 and 2022-09-06. Sector-wise, biotechnology appears repeatedly (Immutep 2022-09-06 $2M; BioCina 2022-04-05 $2M; Telix Pharmaceuticals 2022-04-04 $23M), while one outlier crosses the “disclosed vs undisclosed” boundary: Seeing Machines (2022-05-12) is listed as grant funding with an undisclosed amount.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed grant in this Australian list, and how extreme is it versus the rest of the disclosed rounds?
Syrah Resources’ $220M grant on 2022-10-20 is the only disclosed round above $50M in the rows shown, and it is far above the next-largest disclosed amounts of $23M (Telix Pharmaceuticals, 2022-04-04) and $20M (1receipt®, 2022-09-05).
Do the grant rounds cluster in a narrow window of dates, or are they spread out?
They cluster in mid-to-late 2022: 5 entries fall between 2022-06-20 and 2022-09-06, including Akin (2022-06-20 $100K), PainChek (2022-07-05 $270K), Spacecubed (2022-07-22 $6M), 1receipt® (2022-09-05 $20K), and Immutep (2022-09-06 $2M). The oldest row shown is Convergence.Tech on 2021-07-13 with $2M.
Which sectors appear often enough to suggest a pattern, and which are isolated?
Biotechnology shows up in 3 of the 15 entries: Immutep (2022-09-06 $2M), BioCina (2022-04-05 $2M), and Telix Pharmaceuticals (2022-04-04 $23M). Several other sectors appear once in the shown set (e.g., Artificial Intelligence with Akin on 2022-06-20 $100K; Hardware with Seeing Machines on 2022-05-12 undisclosed).
Are there geography patterns across cities, or does funding appear spread out?
The list spans multiple cities, but New South Wales is repeatedly represented: Sydney (Immutep 2022-09-06 $2M; PainChek 2022-07-05 $270K; Akin 2022-06-20 $100K; Xylo Systems 2021-12-01 $100K; Koverd 2021-10-05 $100K) and Bondi (Xylo Systems 2021-12-01 $100K). Victoria also recurs (Syrah Resources 2022-10-20 $220M; 1receipt® 2022-09-05 $20K; Telix Pharmaceuticals 2022-04-04 $23M; ClimateWorks Australia 2021-11-29 $40K; Convergence.Tech 2021-07-13 $2M).
Any outliers worth flagging beyond the size outlier?
Seeing Machines (2022-05-12, Hardware) is a disclosure outlier because the amount is listed as undisclosed, so it can’t be compared directly to the disclosed range alongside PainChek ($270K on 2022-07-05) or Koverd ($100K on 2021-10-05). Separately, Syrah Resources’ $220M on 2022-10-20 is the dominant size outlier relative to all other disclosed rounds in the table.
