The Sustainable Australia Fund is Australia’s leading provider of Environmental Upgrade Finance. We provide up to 100% of the capital needed by businesses wanting to upgrade their energy infrastructure and unlock efficiencies and environmental outcomes. We believe that every dollar we invest will improve our customers’ cash flow while making the world a better place. The City of Melbourne established the Sustainable Melbourne Fund in 2002 as a revolving loan fund to invest in delivering triple bottom line outcomes. The establishment of the SMF at the time demonstrated the City of Melbourne’s leadership in pursuing its eco-city vision. In 2019 SMF was recapitalised and scaled, supported by Bank Australia, to drive environmental upgrades at a national scale. As a result, the Sustainable Melbourne Fund was renamed the Sustainable Australia Fund.
