currently being undertaken, and works with business owners to improve
the return on investment from innovation and R&D activities. This
may involve speeding up the commercialisation process and increasing
the rate of return of new products and services.

Innovation and
R&D Health Check Process
The Innovation and R&D Health Check is
specifically designed to provide an overall view of the current state
of innovation and R&D activities within a company. The main purpose
of the Health Check is to assess the state of innovation within the
company; to develop ways to increase the level of innovation; and to
ensure the company achieves its business goals.
In addition, the process enables companies to estimate the benefits
available through the 125% R&D Tax Concession program, and to
educate the relevant technical and financial staff in the recognition
and documentation of eligible R&D projects.
A typical Innovation and R&D Health Check would include the
following:
- A workshop with
technical and financial staff on identifying current innovation and
R&D activities.
- A workshop to
assess the value of individual projects and their relative importance.
This workshop would cover the identification of all potential R&D
activities in the past and current year, as well as future plans for
R&D projects.Tailored
programs for
business owners
- Preparation and
submission of a report detailing findings.
- A list of
suggestions of how to improve innovation and R&D processes within
the company. This would comprise idea generation, the product
development process, and getting to market.
- Identification
of projects eligible for R&D Tax Concession. A report would be
prepared covering all eligible R&D activities conducted in the
financial year under review; the report would include the net (after
tax) benefit of the eligible projects.
- Other sources
of government funding.
