Uniforms

Encouraging ethical procurement policies — in organisations you are involved in or those in your community — is one of the most achievable ways you can have a direct and positive impact on efforts to support an ethical Australian textile, clothing and footwear industry.

Organisations such as schools, councils and sports clubs

Local councils, schools, sports clubs, scout groups, martial arts clubs, etc,are all usually responsible for the purchasing of significant amounts of textile, clothing and footwear products. This provides ample opportunities to get behind local and ethical businesses by purchasing their Australian-made products.

For example, if you are a student, teacher or parent, then working with your school community to ensure the school’s uniforms are made in Australia and are sourced from an accredited brand is a great way to support the work of Ethical Clothing Australia, and it also provides an ideal opportunity to engage students and raise awareness of the many issues of exploitation and ethics in the clothing industry.

If you want assistance with any of these issues, contact Ethical Clothing Australia’s staff team for help and make sure you check out the Accredited Brands page of this website for information about which accredited brands manufacture uniforms.
