Australia has no B2B mandate, so nothing forces this. What it has is the ATO as Peppol authority and a public eInvoicing Ready product register, and the gap between being on it and off it is getting easier for buyers to see.
I work with Invio, an invoicing product for sole traders and small businesses in Australia and New Zealand - phone invoicing, GST on the invoice, figures by BAS quarter. We are not on the register and we are not applying today. I am trying to work out whether the path is worth reopening.
The criteria read as five lines: send or receive a valid PINT A-NZ invoice through an accredited AU or NZ service provider, validate an ABN or NZBN, and register a business onto the network with consent.
For anyone who has been through it as a software product rather than as an access point:
How much of the effort was integration, and how much was evidence and paperwork?
Roughly how long from first conversation with a provider to being listed?
Did the listing actually produce anything - inbound, procurement wins, buyer trust - or is it a box that only matters once someone asks?
And for the accredited providers here: what does a product our size look like to you - a customer worth onboarding, or too small to bother with?

I am paid to work on Invio (www.invio.com.au), so I have an interest. No pitch - I want the question answered before I argue for it internally.
