Your real odds
Five grants are awarded per annual cycle, four at $20K and one at $30K, so your odds are real but the competition is genuine.
Only five spots exist across all of South Australia, and the $30K Elevate Grant requires proven sales, so the bar is higher than it looks at first. The geographic and identity focus does narrow the applicant pool compared to national programs.

Worth knowing
