No, unfortunately there is no version of Alibaba in Australia but that’s certainly a business idea as there is a need. You will have to google according to your category and product and do your research yourself. There are a lot of Australian suppliers who are online and some only sell to registered businesses, not direct to the public. Those ones would be good to start with. Austrade has a list of suppliers on their website. It is not an online marketplace with reviews, messaging, business profiles, etc. You will have to search and approach them one by one.
Another idea is to join relevant industry organisations for retailers, F&B producers, designers, trades, suppliers, etc. You can network, gain insider tips and find the recommended suppliers.
Alternatively, you may also try the dropshipping route. They are low-risk and low-cost options if you are starting a business. There are a few big ones that’s tried and trusted such as Oberlo and Salehoo.

All products need to be developed from the outset with a clear goal in mind and a well laid out strategy in order to be successful.
The product design and development process has four phases:

Taking time to find the right product design agency is vital to ensure your product standards the best chance of success. It’s important to find someone that aligns with your core values, shares your vision and knows how to lead the entire design process. Key traits and things to look out for include:
The cost to hire a product designer largely depends on the type of product, scale of the project, product specialisations and other factors. To give you a rough idea, full-service product design usually starts from around $20,000+. However, this figure could exceed $100,000 depending on your project requirements.
