Australia

Australian proofreaders generally work to Australian English conventions, a variant that blends British spelling with its own local usage. Many members of the profession belong to the Institute of Professional Editors, and Australian proofreaders often handle both fiction and the country's strong output of nonfiction and academic writing.

Confirm a proofreader is comfortable with Australian English specifically if that's your target market, since someone trained mainly on US or UK conventions may miss local spelling and usage norms.
