Kosher Australia

Established in 1968 under the auspices of the Mizrachi Organisation, Kosher Australia (formerly Melbourne Kashrut) is widely recognised as the foremost Kosher Certification body in Australasia. Kosher Australia boasts a Rabbinic board garnered from across the spectrum of Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Judaism.

The Kosher Australia kosher symbol appears on products manufactured throughout Australia and Asia including the Indian subcontinent. Kosher Australia also works in close conjunction with the major US Kosher Agencies, and has Rabbinic representation throughout Australia, Asia and Europe.

The Kosher Australia kosher certification appears on products as diverse as wine, flavours, cheeses, yoghurts, fruit products, meat products, flavoured coffees, baked goods, cereals, enzymes, honey, ethanol, vegetable oils, fish products and breakfast cereals.

Our major clients include Kerry Ingredients, SPC Ardmona, IFF, Golden Circle, Unilever, Nestle, Mars Snackfoods, Murray Goulburn, Sugar Australia and Crown Casino just to name a few.

Kosher Australia has a memorandum of understanding with the Australian Halal Food Services Trust, a major Halal certifier in Australia which allows Kosher Australia to take advantage of synergies between the two markets.

In addition, Kosher Australia works closely with such Australian Government agencies as Austrade and Regional Development Victoria to promote and assist in the marketing of Kosher certified products.

Kosher Australia is the only Australian authority that is a member of the Association of Kashrus Organizations (AKO), the international roof body for Kosher Certification Agencies.
