Welcome to the EOPAA website

Australia is the home of several well known essential oils, notably Eucalyptus oil and Tea Tree oil, both of which have become household names the world over. Commercial essential oil production commenced in the 1850's.  These essential oil producers, large and small, operated on their own and it was not until the 1990's that some of the larger oil producers felt that a professional Association might benefit the industry as a whole. Thus EOPAA came into being in 1994.
