Export Assistance

The South West Development Commission offers help to small and medium sized enterprises wishing to expand, or to commence exporting through the TradeStart program.

The TradeStart office in the South West of Western Australia is a joint partnership between the South West Development Commission and the Australian Trade Commission (Austrade).

The TradeStart Program promotes Austrade and provides access to the full range of its services for both new and existing exporters.

One of TradeStart's principal roles is to match Australian businesses with market opportunities throughout the world.

The TradeStart office in the South West provides a direct link to the 117 Austrade offices in globally.

The South West Development Commission's TradeStart office assists a significant number of local businesses to achieve export markets every year, and the region is recognised as one of Australia's leaders for the development of export businesses.
