Ash Barty set to smash Australian Made Week

She has achieved success in a variety of fields, including golf, cricket, writing, being a role model, and being a proud Ngarigo woman. She is a former Young Australian of the Year, a champion at the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon. As the ambassador for Australian Made Week 2023 (15–21 May), Ash Barty is now making one of her most patriotic contributions to date.

As she emphasises the importance of supporting regional producers, businesses, and growers while purchasing products with the Australian Made logo, Ash will be speaking for Australia.

According to Ash, purchasing goods and produce made in Australia also has a positive social impact.

"There are so many advantages to purchasing Australian-made products, including supporting local economies and generating jobs locally," she said.

There is a vast selection of locally produced goods, and you can shop with confidence because products bearing the Australian Made logo have been grown and produced in Australia to the highest standards.

"I grew up with some iconic Australian brands, so I'm thrilled to have the chance to take part in the Australian Made campaign and promote both established and up-and-coming domestic brands. After seeing the world, I have a great deal of pride in our nation and the superior products it produces.

Nothing would make me happier than to know that my participation in Australian Made Week inspired others to support our fantastic nation.

According to the most recent data from Roy Morgan Research, Australians are as dedicated as ever to promoting homegrown production and manufacturing. Four out of five people (86%) say it's important to them to buy Australian goods, and 67% say they "often" or "always" do so. 99% of Australians who are 18 or older are aware of the Australian Made logo, which is impressive.

Ash is the best person, according to Ben Lazzaro, Chief Executive of Australian Made, to promote Australian Made Week and help increase that recognition to 100%.

"This is a great time to remind everyone about the direct economic impact buying Australian can have on the livelihoods of thousands of Australians throughout the supply chain," said Ben.

"Ash is the ideal representative to showcase the best that this nation has to offer. Australians adore her and consider her an inspiration. Working with Australian Made is a logical extension of her long history of promoting Australian Made products, such as Vegemite and Esmi Skin Minerals.

"Almost every product category you can imagine, from high-end health and beauty products to industrial materials, has an Australian Made option.

We'll be highlighting some of the stories of the people behind some of the more than 4,400 businesses that view their Australian Made certification as a badge of honour during Australian Made Week.

The most reliable, recognisable, and frequently used country of origin symbol in Australia is the green-and-gold Australian Made, Australian Grown logo.
