We’re a lean R&DTI service with deep expertise and a simple belief: if you’re doing genuine R&D, you deserve to claim it — without paying a fortune to do so.
To make the R&D Tax Incentive actually accessible to Australian companies doing real innovation — not just the ones with big advisory budgets.
We show you our fee before we start. We tell you honestly if we think your claim is weak. We don't oversell. The R&DTI landscape is complex enough without your advisor adding confusion.
Our success fee model means we're incentivised to maximise your legitimate claim — not bill hours. If you don't get money back, we don't either. That's how it should work.
AusIndustry can spot templated claims immediately. We write genuine project descriptions that reflect your actual R&D — which is both the right thing to do and what gets claims approved.
Enterprise consulting firms built their pricing for ASX-listed companies. We built RDKit for the startup trying to make payroll, the SME investing in product, the founder doing real innovation without a finance team.
I started in biomedical research — lab bench work, experimental design, writing up methodologies for work where the outcome genuinely wasn’t known in advance. That experience taught me how to articulate technical uncertainty in a way that non-specialists can evaluate. Turns out that’s exactly what R&DTI claims require.
After moving into R&DTI consulting, I kept running into the same situation: genuinely innovative companies — software founders, manufacturing engineers, biotech researchers — doing work that clearly qualified, but either couldn’t afford the consulting fees or had been told by a generalist accountant that they “probably don’t qualify.”
The big consulting firms charge 15–25% of the refund, or $15k+ upfront. For a company recovering $80k, that’s $12–20k in fees. It’s excessive, and it prices out exactly the companies the R&DTI was designed for.
RDKit charges 5% — and I credit your $500 upfront payment against the final fee. I handle the technical writing, the expenditure mapping, and the AusIndustry submission. You review, approve, and receive your offset. Simple.
Two minutes. Eight questions. Instant estimate. No obligation.
