•       This Act sets up a system for regulating exports of wheat (other than wheat in bags or containers).

•       Exporters of wheat must be accredited under the wheat export accreditation scheme.

•       An exporter will not be eligible for accreditation unless the exporter is a company that satisfies the eligibility criteria set out in the scheme.

•       The eligibility criteria include being a fit and proper company.

•       An accredited wheat exporter must comply with conditions of accreditation (including reporting conditions).

•       Wheat Exports Australia (WEA) will administer the wheat export accreditation scheme.

               (a)     obtain information from accredited wheat exporters; and

              (b)     direct the audit of an accredited wheat exporter.

•       The Minister may direct WEA to carry out an investigation.

•       WEA will report to growers on an annual basis.
