To be eligible for the Accelerator, applications must have a
minimum of 3 team members
from different organisations that are located within the district. Each application should therefore include at least 3 different ABNs.
If your team is already an established district entity with its own ABN, the lead applicant should apply using that ABN. However, at least 2 other team members must apply with a different ABN to meet the minimum 3 different ABNs requirement.
