Made in Australia – what does it mean?
Made in Australia means a product is substantially transformed in Australia and at least 50% of the cost of production has been incurred in Australia.

Product of Australia – what does it mean?
Product of Australia means that all of a product’s significant ingredients come from Australia, and all or virtually all of the manufacturing or processing is also carried out in Australia.

Australian Grown – what does it mean?
Australian Grown means that each significant ingredient has been grown in Australia, and that all or virtually all of the processes involved in the production of the good have occurred in Australia.

A qualified claim, e.g. ‘Australian Grown Peas and Carrots’ is available where a product may contain some imported components (such as a bag of mixed vegetables), providing certain strict criteria are met. The Australian Grown claim may be applied to fresh, frozen and canned vegetables, fruit, nuts, meat, seafood, eggs and dairy products, textile such as wool and cotton, and plants and cut flowers.

Can any company use the Australian Made, Australian Grown trade mark?
To use the AMCL registered trade mark a company must apply for a licence to use the logo, provide a list of products on which the logo will be used, and pay an annual licence fee. Applicants must agree to comply with the Australian Made, Australian Grown Code of Practice. Copies of the Code of Practice are available from the Campaign office.

What about Australian owned?
When a company manufactures in Australia it employs Australians, pays taxes here and adds value to our economy. Some Australian owned companies do not manufacture here. So Australian owned is great. But Australian made or grown is best. Many companies whose products are both Australian made and owned use that claim in conjunction with our trade mark.

Want to check that a product is authorised to use the trade mark?
A complete list of our licensees and their authorised products can be found in our Directory - the list is updated daily, or you can check that products are licensed to carry the trade mark by free calling the Australian Made Campaign on 1800 350 520.

How is the Campaign funded?
The Campaign is run by business for business. It has been established as a not-for-profit company under the auspices of the national and State Chambers of Commerce and Industry who are also the Campaign’s Foundation Members. The majority of funds raised from licence fees are used to market the trade mark. Significant funding is being provided by the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry in 2006/07 and 2007/08 to kick start the Australian Grown component of the campaign.
