As we approach Australia Day, it’s a great time to reflect on the benefits of buying and supporting Australian Made product.
We are often asked what are the benefits of buying products made in Australia?
Purchasing an Australian Made product or service isn’t just good for those businesses and their workers; it creates an increased demand for everyone along the supply chain, from local courier drivers to packaging suppliers to manufacturers of various components or equipment.
For every $1 million of business retained in Australia, this delivers:
- 10 full-time jobs
- $985,000 worth of value added to the economy
- $333,900 worth of tax revenue
- $95,000 worth of welfare benefits saved for Government
Whilst in many cases Australian manufacturers cannot compete simply on cost, we are world leading on quality and that is where we can make a difference in the future.
So next time you have a choice between Australian or overseas purchases, keep in mind how much you can support the economy and the community by staying green and gold as every purchase adds up.
