The registered suppliers have (or are in the process of having) their local manufacturing supply chain ethically:
- accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia or
- verified by an independent third party
The accreditation assures buyers that registered suppliers comply with relevant labour laws relating to wages, awards and working conditions.
The key objectives of the Ethical supplier register are:
- for departments and agencies to buy uniforms and personal protective equipment from a list of small to medium enterprises with Ethical Clothing Australia accreditation or independently verified ethical local manufacturing
- to support the Victorian Government’s commitment to creating and retaining local jobs in the local manufacture of uniforms and personal protective equipment
- to support ethical employment practices in the local manufacture of uniforms and personal protective equipment
