Lithium industry support program: Financial Support Guidelines

Fact sheet
Guidelines for fees and charges waiver assistance for lithium processors and miners
Last updated:

Lithium is a key critical mineral supporting the global energy transition, and there is enormous potential for the lithium sector to underpin a globally significant value adding critical minerals processing industry in Western Australia.

Guidelines have been developed for: 

  1. Temporary assistance with fees and charges in relation to water, electricity and land to support lithium hydroxide processing operations.
  2. Temporary assistance with government fees and charges in relation to ports and mining tenements to support lithium mining operations in the ‘ramp up’ phase of development. 

Please note: 

  • The Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation (JTSI) is responsible for administering the Program on behalf of the State.
