Ethical Clothing Australia Week is fast approaching on 7-13 October!

Since 2020, Ethical Clothing Australia Week has been a dedicated celebration of the people and businesses that make textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) products ethically in Australia.

The only event of its kind in the country, Ethical Clothing Australia Week celebrates the skilled workers who are part of the Australian TCF industry and our community of local brands, manufacturers and value-adders!By becoming accredited with Ethical Clothing Australia, these businesses have shown their commitment to ending exploitation in the Australian garment industry – ensuring that all the people in their local supply chains are treated with dignity, paid fairly and are safe at work.

In our first LinkedIn newsletter, we are excited to share the first round of events run by our community of accredited businesses!
