Where To Buy Face Masks Made Ethically & Locally In Australia
The ever-changing nature of the COVID-19 health pandemic has meant that face masks have become mandatory or highly recommended for use in the community across Australia. ECA accredited businesses have transformed their manufacturing capabilities over the pandemic to produce face masks and we have created a go-to guide on where to shop. Supporting ethical businesses and most importantly Australian garment workers.

The A.BCH Dust Mask was developed after they recognised a need for masks in the community and to preserve medical grade PPE for health workers.
