About the Australian Owned™ Certification
The Australian Owned™ Certified Trademark is the only nationally recognised certification that guarantees a business is genuinely Australian-owned. It sets a high benchmark for authenticity and is awarded only after businesses pass a rigorous, independent compliance process.
Qualification
To qualify, organisations must demonstrate:
- Majority Australian ownership – at least 80% of shareholders must be Australian citizens.
- Corporate transparency – details such as ABN, ownership structure, and shareholder information are verified against government and corporate databases.
- Operational integrity – businesses must meet strict eligibility criteria, showing their governance and practices align with Australian values.
Assessment
This multi-step assessment process includes:
- Pre-assessment & application review – confirming Australian registration and ownership.
- Compliance checks – thorough verification using corporate and government records.
- Certification approval – granting a licence to display the unique Australian Owned™ Certified logo with an identification number.
- Annual renewal & revalidation – ensuring businesses continue to meet certification standards year after year.
Independently Verified
Unlike generic or unverified “locally owned” claims, the Australian Owned™ logo cannot be self-applied. It is a trusted, independently verified symbol recognised nationwide as proof of genuine Australian ownership.
For our clients and partners, this means every dollar spent with a certified business helps to:
- Strengthen local communities.
- Support Australian jobs.
- Keep profits within the Australian economy.
- Foster long-term national prosperity.
Why it Matters
By choosing businesses like WorkSec that carry the Australian Owned™ mark, you’re not just engaging a provider – you’re investing in Australia’s future.
