NSW Letter of Demand Ignored by Company - What to Do?

[Ken Hazzard]

How can I recover a A$103,000 deposit paid for raw material to produce an Infant Nutritional Supplement for export to China, whereby the company we signed the contract with has failed to deliver.

I have tried to contact them directly and sent a Letter of Demand, both of which have been ignored.

Your next step is take legal action. For that amount, and the likelihood it will be defended, I suggest you engage a good contract litigator.

Was the deposit paid to somebody in Australia?

Was it paid to a producer, or a downstream processor, or a broker?
For example, have you contracted with a dairy, with a dairy processor,
or (says if it's FCMP) with a commodities broker/trader?

Is the company still trading?

I concur with this suggestion.
Having searched you on the web, you are clearly somebody who knows their field,
and who would recognise the wisdom of @Rob Legat - SBPL's remarks.
