Australian Made logo
The Australian Made, Australian Grown logo (also known as the Australian Made logo or AMAG logo) is a registered certification trade mark logo and country of origin label that certifies that a product has been manufactured or grown in Australia. The triangular green-and-gold logo, featuring a kangaroo, was introduced in 1986. The Australian Made, Australian Grown logo is administered by Australian Made Campaign Limited (AMCL).
In the 1930s a group of businesses gathered up and created a media campaign to publicise Australian made products.
In 1961, a national "Buy Australian" campaign was introduced by the Associated Chambers of Manufacturers of Australia. The campaign was launched by Prime Minister Robert Menzies in May 1961. The campaign was colloquially known at the time as Operation Boomerang. A red boomerang on a blue circular background depicting the Southern Cross.
In 1986, a new green-and-gold coloured "Australian Made" logo featuring a stylised kangaroo in a triangle was launched as part of the "Australian Made" campaign launched by Prime Minister Bob Hawke on 31 August 1986. The logo was designed by Ken Cato.
In 2002, the Australian Government transferred ownership and management of the Australian Made logo to Australian Made Campaign Limited (AMCL) through a Deed of Assignment and Management with the Australian Government. AMCL is a not-for-profit organisation that administers the logo through third party verification processes and regular audits to ensure that only products that are genuinely manufactured (substantially transformed) or grown in Australia are licensed to carry the logo.
In 2016, the Australian Government changed food labelling laws to add a bar showing the percentage of Australian ingredients for any product made in Australia. Australian food products sold domestically are no longer able to use the AMAG certification trade mark as a standalone country of origin symbol. However, the new labelling requirements are not mandated for exported food products. Businesses wishing to use the AMAG logo on exported food have the option of using the new labels or using the logo under a licence with Australia Made. The Australian Government is funding the ACCC to manage compliance of the new country of origin labels for food products.
South Africa, New Zealand, and Canada have consulted with Australian Made on developing their own branding campaigns.
The AMCL Code of Practice outlines the requirements that a product must have to be licensed to use the Australian Made logo.
