What can Australia Build?

A tool to help Australians discover what goods are manufactured locally, supporting Australian-made products and industries.

Our Mission

For users, "What can Australia Build?" is a tool that lets people learn and realize what goods are built in Australia.

Over the long run, we hope this can educate and inspire more Australians to build, buy, and support manufacturing in Australia.

2. Discover Australian Makers
