Aussie ADS-B Rebate Scheme To Enter New Phase
Next round of funding will help cover cost of ADS-B In/Out equipment in Australia-registered aircraft

Aircraft owners in Australia will soon have access to an expanded government subsidy for installing ADS-B equipment. The first phase of the program that offered a rebate of up to 50% of ADS-B purchase and installation costs for eligible aircraft closed on May 31, but a second round will open next month.

The new round comes after the Australian Government announced in this year’s federal budget that it would provide $3.6 million in additional funding over three years to extend and expand the program. This takes total funding available over the program term to $8.4 million.
