About Ethical Clothing Australia Week 2025

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 within the vibrant TCF industry and highlights accredited manufacturers and brands.

This year marks a special milestone as Ethical Clothing Australia turns 25! Join us as we celebrate 25 years of protecting workers in Australia's textile, clothing and footwear industry.

The official program will run from 7-14 October with a calendar of in-person and online events hosted by Ethical Clothing Australia and our community of accredited businesses. Come along to 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.
