"The New South Wales government recently announced the launch of the NSW
Fashion Sector Strategy, 2025–28. The strategy, developed in partnership with
the Australian Fashion Council, TAFE NSW, University of Technology Sydney and
the Powerhouse Museum, promises to “accelerate NSW’s position as a global
leader in high-quality, innovative and inclusive fashion”.

This new policy includes A$750,000 in funding to support local designers. It
also prioritises smart factories, skills and training, and a fashion hub to
incubate emerging talent.

It is a welcome contribution to the local fashion economy. Yet it is also a
reminder of the complex challenges facing the industry."

Cheers,
