What’s happening?

Australians are being encouraged to buy local through a new national advertising campaign called ‘Made Right Here’.

The campaign has been launched by Australian Made Campaign Ltd with support from a $20 million Australian Government grant.

It will run nationally until 30 June 2026 across major media platforms.

Why it matters

The campaign focuses on helping Australians make informed and confident shopping choices.

It promotes the Australian Made logo as a trusted guide when choosing everyday products.

AMCL Chief Executive Ben Lazzaro said the campaign highlights what many Australians rely on in daily life.

“The new campaign also highlights and celebrates what we can often take for granted – which is that we have access to such a wide variety of locally made, high-quality products that play pivotal roles in our everyday lives,” he said.
