I'm aware of Kong's Pty Ltd. Doesn't mean that they import their foodstuffs from China though.
I did find some Aus fish food manufacturers:

I installed a UV Steriliser in my daughter’s aquarium about 7 years ago after a bout of white spot cleaned out all the fish, and there have been no infections since. They’re worth it.

Glad to hear that the white spot parasite got cleared out with a UV sterilizer
Now don't forget to replace the globe at the 10 year mark. Sounds like you successfully broke the life cycle of the white spot parasite.
I can't afford that many UV sterilizers though (too many tanks) and nor would I want them as UV sterilizers are hit or miss on weather or not they will deal with a parasite or bacterial infection and that 7w or 13w per sterilizer adds up really quick. They will sterilize the water passing in to the UV filter but they won't deal with the parasites in the substrate or attached to the bottom of the tank or the parasites attached to the side of the fish.
I also know someone with a massive UV sterilizer and it does nothing for the bacteria and parasites in his centralized system.
I don't have a parasite problem anyway, aside from the Columnaris outbreak that came from a net which was placed in a quarantine tank I'm 100% disease free. And I've dealt with the net problem by setting up a bucket with some chlorine in it for the nets to soak and I've treated all of the affected tanks with Erythromycin/Multi-Cure.
