The Export Consultants Association is formed of EMDG consultants that adhere to COPAC. All COPAC consultants have met core continuing professional development requirements and have access to the latest EMDG guidelines.

ECAL represents the interests of Australian exporters as well as the interests of export consultants in an effort to assist Australian exporters to obtain maximum entitlement under the Export Market Development Grants (EMDG) scheme.

There are significant financial benefits provided to Australian firms by the Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) scheme. This successful government program has assisted thousands of Australian exporters to promote their goods or services in overseas markets.

ECAL's membership is made up of roughly 100 consultants, from large consulting firms to small one person operations. To date ECAL members have assisted over 2,000 Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) applicants and in total worked with over 4,000 exporters.


Although EMDG applications can be filed directly with a local EMDG office, to ensure that this financial assistance program is accessed effectively, an exporter may wish to consider the benefits of engaging a consultant. It is advisable to choose a consultant who is a member of the Export Consultants Association and is included on the current Code of Practice Administration Committee (COPAC) listing of consultants.

ECAL consultants can advise on the complex specifications and requirements of the EMDG legislation, and they have the ability to use Austrade's new electronic submission system, which may speed up the processing of your EMDG claim.

ECAL consultants have met benchmark standards and have agreed to abide by a code of conduct containing fundamental ethical principles, setting professional standards of performance for the submission of your EMDG claim.

Regular attendance at COPAC Professional Development seminars ensure the consultants are up to date with the latest technical and administrative developments of the EMDG Scheme.
