It is different with each country, and the owners need to do some research, just as we have to do.

Bichons are prone to allergies, so bichon owners tend to have done lots of research. I can share a bit from other bichon owners (from the bichon forum that I am on):

In UK:
These 3 brands: Denes, Burnes and James Well Beloved are the most commonly used.

Also, frozen medallions are available from this site:

The one above also carries Missing Link (supplement).

This one is used by one person:
http://www.naturesmenu.co.uk/

Not from the forum, here is a link to food ratings in UK:

I did the search on the bichon forum for this info. The folks in UK have discussion threads among themselves re foods, we in USA and Canada don't join in (we have our own, lol). So I can't tell you specifics on the foods above. Just sharing what they have found works.

We don't have any members in Australia, so I can't help you there. We have 3 folks in New Zealand, and all three use Jimbos chicken and beef medallions, or if they can't find those, they use the medallions by Bombay Pet Foods from Foodtown.

Hope this helps!

BTW, Denes was formed by Buster Lloyd-Jones. He wrote an autobiography, The Animals Came in One by One, which includes how he came to form the company. Great read!
