Up to US$100,000 in AWS Activate credits for Australian founders — full application, AWS account setup and architecture guidance, delivered remotely by ROSTAN, an AWS Activate Provider.
Apply for AWS Credits →AWS Activate is a global program, and Australian startups are fully eligible. Through ROSTAN Technologies — an AWS Activate Provider — qualifying Australian startups can access the Portfolio tier of AWS Activate, worth up to US$100,000 in credits, rather than the smaller self-apply tier. We prepare and submit the application, help you stand up your AWS account, and review your initial architecture so the credits are spent well.
Support is delivered remotely by our AWS team in India, working to Australian business hours. You get the same hands-on help an Australian founder would expect locally, without paying local consulting rates — and your workloads and data stay in Australian AWS infrastructure.
Australian startups can run workloads and keep data in-country across two local AWS Regions: the AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney) Region (ap-southeast-2) and the AWS Asia Pacific (Melbourne) Region (ap-southeast-4), each with three Availability Zones. That means low latency for Australian users and the option to keep regulated data onshore.
Keep customer data in the Sydney or Melbourne Region to support obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Two in-country Regions with three Availability Zones each keep response times fast for customers across Australia.
Delivered remotely from India, aligned to Australian business hours — application help, account setup and architecture review.
We review your initial setup against AWS Well-Architected principles so your credits fund the right foundation, not rework.
We keep it simple for Australian founders: confirm you meet the AWS Activate prerequisites (company under 10 years old, privately held, with an AWS account), then we prepare and submit your Portfolio-tier application, help set up your AWS account, and review your first architecture — all remotely, in your business hours. See the full eligibility checklist on our main AWS Startup Credits page.
Start your AWS Activate application through ROSTAN, an AWS Activate Provider. It takes a few minutes, and we handle the rest remotely.
