Welcome to the LPG Australia web site.
This web site is the primary source of information on the Australian Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) industry, safety, statistics and development programs.

We have two other websites:

www.lpgautogas.com.au provides information on Autogas conversions and systems for private, small business and corporate use, filling locations, payback calculators, equipment lists, and the location of installers.

www.lpghomegas.com.au provides information on domestic use of LPG for cooking, drying, heating and hot water, plus has links to the websites of our major appliance manufactures and suppliers of LPG for domestic use.

Click on Safety link to access a list of LPG Australia endorsed LPG equipment. Please contact us if you cannot find the information you need.
