Did you know the majority of workers in Australia's textile, clothing and footwear industry come from migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds?
As part of Ethical Clothing Australia Week 2025, we're presenting Working Behind the Seams – a commemorative exhibition shining a light on the people whose skilled hands make Australia’s uniforms, PPE, and everyday clothing.
Discover the history that underpins Ethical Clothing Australia’s accreditation program, intimate workers’ stories, and powerful accounts from the Textile, Clothing and Footwear (TCF) Union. The exhibition traces the movement that protects workers’ rights and sustains local ethical manufacturing. Archival video brings key moments and voices to life, revealing why Ethical Clothing Australia’s mission to ensure fair treatment, safe workplaces, and transparent supply chains matters now more than ever.
This is a rare opportunity to understand the vital contributions of Australia's garment workers and learn about the importance of ethical supply chains.
