What is Ethical Clothing Australia?
Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA) is a not-for-profit accreditation body dedicated to ensuring that Australian textile, clothing, and footwear (TCF) businesses uphold fair labour standards and ethical practices within their supply chains. It promotes ethical and transparent practices within Australia’s textile, clothing, and footwear industries
How are we accredited?
ECA’s accreditation process involves a comprehensive audit of our manufacturing operations, including head offices, in-house production, and all outsourced locations within Australia. The goal is to ensure that all workers receive appropriate legal award entitlements, legislative protection, and work in safe conditions.
How can you identify us?
All our garments are delivered with an Ethical Clothing Australia tag, which lets your customers know that you are supporting an Australian business that uses local manufacturing. You can also find us listed on ECA’s website as an Ethical Manufacturer www.ethicalclothingaustralia.org.au
What this means for you?
By choosing to support our business, you’re not only investing in premium-quality garments and faster turnaround times — you’re also backing Australia’s manufacturing industry, strengthening the national economy, and uplifting local communities. In addition, you’re standing up for workers’ rights, as Australia enforces strong labour laws that guarantee fair wages, safe workplaces, and job security. Environmentally, you are creating lower emissions by reducing the carbon footprint associated with international shipping and supporting better regulations against pollution and waste management. Local garment production also helps retain traditional skills and crafts within Australia and supports our national identity.
We thankyou for your ongoing support over the years, without our loyal customers we would not have been able to proudly receive this accreditation. Let’s keep local manufacturing alive by continuing to support Australian – made businesses!
