Australian Made Week
If you have been reading Woman of Style and Substance or have been following us online for a while, you will know that we are huge advocates for Australian-owned businesses and Australian-made products. This week, from the 15th until the 21st of May, is Australian Made Week, which encourages shoppers to get involved in seeking out and buying locally-made goods. The easiest way to spot genuine Australian-made or grown products is to look for the trusted green and gold kangaroo label (pictured below).
Whether you are purchasing skincare, homewares, or simply doing your grocery shopping, when you choose Australian-made or grown products you are supporting local manufacturing, local businesses, local families and local communities. In fact, if Australian households spend just $10 a week on Australian Made products we’d inject $4.8B into the economy and create up to 9,500 jobs!
When you buy Australian, you support Australia – you create jobs and boost economic activity while enjoying products made to some of the highest standards in the world. Look out for the Australian Made logo when you shop to be sure you’re buying genuinely Aussie!
