Australia is a top-tier source for mining and metals (iron ore, bauxite, copper, gold, lithium, rare earths), agricultural commodities (beef, lamb, wheat, dairy, wine, almonds, macadamias), pharmaceuticals and medical devices (CSL, ResMed, Cochlear), and defense and aerospace systems. Manufacturing concentration is comparatively low, high labour cost has pushed mass production offshore, but specialty, regulated, and high-IP categories remain strong, particularly around Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Australia operates a tightly enforced regulatory environment: the TGA regulates therapeutic goods, FSANZ governs food standards, and ACMA covers radio/electrical. The Modern Slavery Act 2018 requires due-diligence reporting from large buyers and is a relevant signal when evaluating Australian suppliers' own supply chains. Most exporters carry ISO 9001 plus sector-specific accreditations (HACCP, GFSI-recognised schemes, ISO 13485).

よくある質問

How do I verify an Australian company is legitimately registered?

Search ASIC Connect (asic.gov.au) using the 9-digit ACN or 11-digit ABN. Both are free and return the company's registered office, directors, share capital, and any insolvency or deregistration markers. ABN lookup also confirms GST registration status.

What is the TGA and when do I need their approval?

The Therapeutic Goods Administration regulates medicines, medical devices, and biologicals sold in Australia. For Australian-made products exported to other markets, TGA Manufacturing Licence is the GMP equivalent and is recognised under PIC/S MRA agreements with the EMA, FDA (medical devices), and others.

Are there sanctions concerns for Australian export buyers?

Yes, Australia maintains its own autonomous sanctions regime under DFAT, largely aligned with UN and a subset of US OFAC measures. The Consolidated List is the authoritative source. Reputable Australian exporters screen end-users before shipment, especially for any dual-use items.

What payment terms and currencies are standard?

Export invoicing is typically in USD, EUR, or AUD. Common terms are T/T 30% deposit + 70% against B/L copy, or irrevocable L/C at sight for new relationships. Established EU/Asian buyers run 30–60 day open account. Trade credit insurance via QBE or Coface is common.

Does the Modern Slavery Act apply to me as a buyer?

If your group's consolidated annual revenue exceeds AUD 100 million, the Act requires an annual Modern Slavery Statement covering your operations and supply chain. Even below threshold, Australian suppliers expect buyers to ask about their own due-diligence practices, it's a reciprocal trust signal.
