- A Consortium of up to three Small Businesses (where each Small Business in the Consortium has fewer than 15 Employees, but at least one Employee)

Can I apply more than once?
You can apply once for each Funding Round (2009, 2010 and 2011) for a grant under the Program. If your business previously applied for a Fresh Ideas for Work and Family grant in 2009, you are eligible to apply again in 2010 and in 2011 for a different arrangement – whether you were successful* or unsuccessful in the previous application.
