If you are shopping for outdoor picnic tables and "Australian Made" matters to your brief, there is a quick way to cut through the noise: check the Australian Made Campaign licensee list at australianmade.com.au. Auscraft Furniture is on it. Most suppliers you will find online are not.
What "Certified Manufacturer" Actually Means

The Australian outdoor furniture market contains three broad categories of supplier, and only one deserves the label "Australian Made":
- Genuine Australian Made manufacturers, timber sourced domestically, all fabrication in an Australian workshop, verified by Australian Made Campaign Limited. Auscraft Furniture falls in this category.
- Partially Australian Made products, typically imported components assembled locally. May legally use "assembled in Australia" but cannot carry the kangaroo logo under Australian Consumer Law unless the substantial transformation test is met.
- Imported products marketed as "outdoor furniture", manufactured offshore, often from treated pine or composite materials, shipped in container quantities. Some are sold under Australian brand names with no domestic manufacturing connection.
The distinction matters beyond patriotism. It directly affects timber durability, warranty enforceability, and your ability to hold a supplier accountable when something goes wrong five years from now.

How to Spot the Difference
Use this checklist when evaluating any supplier claiming Australian Made status:
- Kangaroo logo present and verifiable, search the supplier name at australianmade.com.au/licensees. If they are not listed, the logo is not a certified mark.
- Workshop address, not just a warehouse, a manufacturing facility has machinery, staff and OH&S registration. Ask for the workshop suburb and cross-check it.
- Named timber species with durability rating, "hardwood" is not a species. Ask specifically: Spotted Gum, Ironbark or Merbau? What is the AS 5604 durability class?
- Custom sizing available, genuine manufacturers can modify dimensions. Importers can only sell what is in the container.
- Warranty backed by the manufacturer directly, not a third-party importer who may cease trading.
