Sony DADC Australia was a full-service technology and solution provider for optical media, offering services from the traditional replication business to printing services, disc mastering, and digital asset management. The plant was known as Sony Disc Manufacturing unified all its international manufacturing facilities (excluding Japan) under the Sony DADC moniker. The ed company behind the manufacturing plant, Sony Music Entertainment (Australia) Limited, was renamed Sony DADC Australia Pty Limited on 16 November 2005, and the 'SMEA' name was dropped from the disc matrix shortly afterward (although the Sony DADC name may have been adopted prior to November for DVDs manufactured in Australia as part of the worldwide rebranding effort).

Blu-Ray production at this site began in February 2009.

In late 2017, Sony DADC Australia Pty Limited went into an agreement with Technicolor Pty Limited (Technicolor, Australia) to allow Technicolor exclusive right to provide manufacturing, assembly, and packaging for Sony DADC in Australia and New Zealand for 5 years, effective February 12, 2018. Sony DADC Australia has remained active since then and continues to offer manufacturing services to the film and music industries, however this is now outsourced to Technicolor and Sony DADC's own plant in Huntingwood has closed. Sales and distribution are handled from two premises in western Sydney.

Identification:
Sony DADC Australia may be named in full in the matrix. In some cases, the matrix may simply name Sony DADC, or there may be no reference to Sony DADC at all. In such cases, Sony DADC Australia can be identified by its unique matrix numbering scheme and SID codes (see below).

Discs manufactured for Universal Music Australia and its subsidiaries often carry a Universal logo followed by the text 'ANZ'. Example:
