Amazon Associates Australia is a regional branch of Amazon affiliate program, and it allows affiliates to monetize their Australian audience.

While it shares much of the same infrastructure and tracking system as the global Amazon Associates program, it operates under its own unique account, regional commission structure, and local tax laws.

Every Amazon Associate with an Australian audience should sign up for the program as it's completely free and a one-time setup.
