Join the Aussie-made club

You can now throw your support Australian made products by “joining the Aussie Made Club” as part of a new national campaign.

I know everyone wants to do their bit to help in our national economic recovery and one way to help is to get behind this campaign.

I encourage all Aussies to go to the Australian Made website and literally “join the club” – it’s free, you get offers and discounts, and it helps you identify a range of Australian-made products.

So many locals have come to me asking what we can do to grow Australian manufacturing. One of the best things we can do is to buy local.

When you buy Australian Made you’re not just helping the local shop, you’re supporting Aussie manufacturers and all the businesses in their supply chains from farmers to designers.

Minister for Industry, Science and Technology Karen Andrews said the new ad campaign reflects the ground-swell of community support for Australian products.

“As a country we’ve rallied together to slow the spread of coronavirus, now we need to pull together to back our local businesses and manufacturers,” Minister Andrews said.

“Australians are the first to put up their hand to help in a crisis. As we look to navigate the economic impacts of coronavirus the simplest thing we can do to help is to buy Australian.”

The new ad campaign comes after the Morrison Liberal National Government earlier this year committed $5 million to expand the reach of the Australian Made logo, so our manufacturers could take on new markets around the world.
