Launchvic are funding the ecosystem rather than startups directly. Grants for hubs, bootcamps, co-working spaces, communities of interest, education/mentoring programmes &c. Even grants for existing VC-backed accelerators to bring them to Melbourne. However, no grants directly to startups, seems to be outside their scope of interest.

Launch VIC precludes funding anybody that could be funded by a commercial entity. My experience is LaunchVic is a system to fund NGOs and Universities that demonstrate minimal risk of making a profit.

This seems to be from SA: http://www.innovyz.com/ according to https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/business-and-trade/running-a-bu...

I haven't looked at other states, but the Australian states are competitive enough that what one does the others often follow.
