If you intend to supply or sell clothes made in Australia and sold in New South Wales, you will need to consider your obligations under this scheme. The Ethical Clothing Trades Extended Responsibility Scheme aims to protect clothing outworkers. Clothing outworkers are people who manufacture clothing products outside registered factories, such as in their own homes, converted residential premises, or unofficial factories.
Your obligations will differ depending on whether you are a clothing retailer, clothing supplier, or clothing contractor.
