100% Australian Made. Proud to have attended this morningโs breakfast event recognising Australian Made Week, alongside industry leaders and with The Hon. Dr Andrew Charlton MP.
Hosted by Business Sydney, it was inspiring to see strong support for local businesses, manufacturers and growers โ and to be reminded just how important backing Australian-made truly is ๐ฆ๐บ
Australian Made Week (18โ24 May 2026) celebrates everything we create locally and shines a light on the people behind it. This yearโs campaign reinforces a powerful message:
Supporting local isnโt just important to shoppers โ itโs critical to Aussie businesses too.
Some standout insights shared:
100% of Australian businesses surveyed recognise the Australian Made logo
85% are confident products displaying the logo are genuinely made or grown in Australia
84% of businesses actively choose Australian-made goods wherever possible
93% of Australians trust products carrying the logo
89% are more likely to buy when they know itโs Australian made
Even more compelling โ spending just $20 per week on Australian-made products could inject $11 billion into the economy and create around 20,000 jobs.
A big thank you to all organisers, speakers and contributors for creating such a meaningful platform, and for continuing to champion Australian industry and innovation.
To everyone involved โ your leadership and advocacy matter.
Letโs continue to support local, not just this week, but every week.
