How the marketplace works
Start from your assessment
Your export readiness assessment shows where your business is strong and where to focus next, so you know what to ask an expert for.
Checked before listing
Before an expert is listed, the program team checks their ABN against the Australian Business Register, examines their insurance certificates, contacts their references and reviews their professional profile.
Scoped in a Work Order
Each engagement is set out in a Work Order with its scope and milestones, approved by Tourism Accelerator and paid with your credits. After each session you complete a short feedback form.
Become an Export Ready expert
Search for your consultancy by business name, add your contact details, validate your ABN, then tell us how you support operators. An ATDW listing is not required.
