China's Customs agency announced the removal of the bans on Teys Australia Naracoorte in South Australia, Australian Lamb in Colac, Victoria and JBS in Melbourne.
But eight Australian red meat processing facilities remain suspended.
The bans were introduced between 2020 and early 2022, with Beijing citing COVID-19 cases in the workforce and labelling issues.
China slapped sanctions worth $20 billion on Australian products during the height of diplomatic tensions in 2020.
Australian Meat Industry Council chief executive Patrick Hutchison said industry would not need to diversify, as businesses took a "cautious approach" on the opportunities offered up by China.
"We will continue to advocate strongly for all remaining suspended plants to also regain access to China as a matter of priority," he said.
"We hope this represents a restabilisation of the trade in meat to China which will also allow for a process and pathway for new access to the market."

Trade Minister Don Farrell welcomed the decision and called for the other bans to be lifted.
"This is another positive step towards the stabilisation of our relationship with China," he said.
"The Albanese government will keep pressing for the remaining trade impediments to be removed as soon as possible."
Senator Farrell had previously said he was confident the remaining sanctions would be gone by Christmas.
Sanctions also remain on rock lobster exports while Beijing is reviewing bans on Australian wine worth $1.2 billion through a five-month process after Canberra agreed to suspend a dispute lodged with the World Trade Organisation.
The development follows a number of meetings between Senator Farrell and his Chinese counterpart Wang Wentao over the past months.
