The Micromelon Rover has been officially certified as Australian Made by the Australian Made Campaign, earning the right to carry the iconic green-and-gold kangaroo logo. The certification recognises that the Rover is designed, engineered, and assembled in Australia.

Australian Made certification requires products to meet strict criteria for local content, manufacturing, and quality. For Micromelon, the certification reflects a deliberate decision to keep production local rather than outsourcing to overseas manufacturers. This approach gives the team direct control over quality, enables faster iteration on hardware improvements, and supports Australian manufacturing jobs.

|
For schools, the Australian Made certification provides additional confidence in the product's quality and provenance. Many education departments and procurement teams value locally made products, and the certification simplifies purchasing decisions for schools that prioritise supporting Australian businesses.
|
|
|
|
The Rover's design and assembly takes place in Brisbane, Queensland, where the Micromelon team hand-assembles each unit and performs quality checks before shipping. This close-to-customer manufacturing model also enables the team to respond quickly to repair requests and provide direct support to schools.

"Being able to put the Australian Made logo on our Rover is something the whole team is proud of," the Micromelon team said. "It represents our commitment to quality and to building something genuinely Australian."
