About Ethical Clothing Australia Week 2026

Ethical Clothing Australia Week recognises the people and businesses that make textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) products in Australia. The only event of its kind in the country, this week-long campaign celebrates the skilled workers, including outworkers, within the vibrant TCF industry, and highlights accredited manufacturers and brands who ensure their local supply chains are transparent, compliant and fair from design to dispatch.

Learn how clothes are made ethically in Australia, meet the people behind local manufacturing, and connect with others who care about creating a fairer industry.
