Australians are being encouraged to purchase Australian products on Australian Made Week! 

72% of Australians are willing to pay more for locally made goods, data has also shown how beneficial it would be for Australian’s if we purchased more Australian Made products.

Chief Executive of Australia Made Campaign Ben Lazzaro told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons, “If every household spent an extra $10 a week on Australian products, we can create 10,000 jobs and pump an additional 5.6 billion into the economy.”

“If it’s got the Australian Made logo on it, whether it’s a food product or not, it means it’s being made in Australia and complies with Australia’s consumer laws.” Lazzaro continued.
