A. Kosher Australia attempts to maintain a reliable and consistent standard of Kashrut supervision at least equal to those practiced by the major accepted international Kashrut authorities.

For example there is one organization that even allows the use of animal gelatin based on an almost universally rejected Halachic leniency. Other organizations are, unfortunately, known to be sloppy or otherwise unprofessional in their investigative work. Kosher Australia therefore only lists those organizations about which it has positive information regarding their basic standards and reliability. However, the absence of any particular group does not necessarily mean that it is not of the minimum standard accepted by Kosher Australia – it may simply mean that we are not in possession of information required to make a decision.
