The Victorian Government announced the Industry Diversification Program (IDP) on 24 June 2025.

The IDP is a $9.5 million program to support Victorian manufacturers who are highly dependent on the gas appliance industry. The Program also seeks to support industry to capture opportunities from, and to help meet, the increased demand for electric appliances.

The IDP will provide support to Victorian manufacturers to access grants, professional advice, and planning services to support business transition and to plan for the future.

Businesses are only eligible if they can demonstrate that they are highly dependent on the gas appliance industry.
