Country Australia
The award is given to the audio engineer(s) who is from, or resides in Australia, and has overall responsibility for the Presented Australian Recording

each engineer. DVD releases are not eligible. Only work released during the period of eligibility will be considered. (ARIA)
International product is eligible but entrants must accord with the general eligibility criteria for artists. In the case of a
