footnotes = The Australian Egg Corporation Limited (Australian Egg Corporation) is the major marketer of eggs in Australia. It is a producer-owned corporation, representing approximately 400 commercial egg producers and based in Sydney. The activities of AECL include marketing, research and development, and policy services. It runs public awareness campaigns on animal welfare, nutrition, and vaccine development. The corporation is affiliated with the International Egg Commission (IEC).
The AECL was created by an act of federal parliament in 2002 as a statutory authority to replace the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation, as the peak egg body in the country.
In September 2004, the corporation hosted the Annual Conference of the IEC in Sydney. It was awarded the International body's most prestigious prize, the Golden Egg Award. At the same presentation night, the Australian egg industry was judged as the best in the world by an international judging panel.Fact|date=January 2008
In July 2005, the corporation funded a trip for Brian Spotts of Colorado, to break the world record of standing eggs on end. See article below for further details.
