'''Note Printing Australia''' (NPA) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the [[Reserve Bank of Australia]] (RBA) that produces [[banknote]]s and [[passport]]s. It was corporatised in July 1998 and is located in [[Craigieburn, Victoria|Craigieburn]], Melbourne. NPA has its origins as a subsidiary of the [[Commonwealth Bank]] and was established in 1913 to print banknotes for Australia. After printing paper banknotes for 75 years, NPA introduced the first [[polymer banknote]] technology in 1988. NPA print banknotes for several other countries as well as Australia due to the high standards of durability and difficulty of counterfeiting.
