Last researched 3 November 2026 · 5 sources
Australian chain of furniture, bedding and homewares stores.
We couldn't confirm where Domayne makes most of its products.
Also worth knowing
Most homewares and appliances are made in countries such as China and Vietnam, where pay is usually below a living wage.
Better-graded furniture
Graded higher than Domayne, selling the same kinds of things.
None of the furniture brands we know to make furniture or bedding and towels is Good yet. These are the strongest so far. Le Klint is Good, but we don't know that it makes furniture or bedding and towels.

Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 1 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It has 2 red flags: no evidence of a living wage and unaudited production, probably in high-risk countries. Two or more red flags means a poor grade.
- It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
- Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.
Good requirements 1 of 6
- Not met: Pays a living wage, or holds a strong fair-pay certificationLiving wage: no evidence

- Not met: Supply chain independently audited or certified, or at least 80% made in countries with strong labour standards
- Met: No child or forced labour findings or links
- Not met: Names the factories or farms that make its products, or is fully certified by a scheme that holds and audits that list
- Not met: High-risk raw materials (timber) traced or certified, or not a major part of its rangeNot traced or certified: timber

Evidence
What we found
- Modern slavery statement
- Doesn't show where its timber comes from. Timber is linked to illegal logging linked to forced labour, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
Research notes Graded on the furniture and bedding Harvey Norman Holdings sources for Domayne, not the third-party electronics and appliance brands it resells. Domayne promotes contemporary Australian-made furniture, but gives no share of its range made locally or overseas. The group's 2025 modern slavery statement names no supplier countries, factories, audit results or high-risk materials, and says it cannot set policies for independent franchisees. No supplier list, timber certification or living wage commitment is published.
