    first make sure you have plenty of cash - product development is not cheap and leadtimes are ususally alot longer than 3 months.

    you need to protect yr idea - either by registering a patent through the patent office (if its patentable) or by design registration (which is pretty much worthless)

    you then need to approach a product development agency, get them to sign a confidentiality agreement or Non Disclosure Agreement (search the web) and talk through your idea.

    you can also put as much details as possible about your idea into an envelope and send it recorded delivery to yrself, when you get it dont open it and keep it safe for if you ever need to use it in court.

    good luck
