- Ethical Clothing AustraliaCounts as proof of a living wage for products made in Australia, because it checks workers get the legal pay rates for their job, and in Australia those are about a living wage.
- Australian MadeCounts as made in Australia for the final stage. For Good, the brand also needs to show where its materials and parts are made.

Evidence
What we found
- No high-risk raw materials (such as cotton and leather) are recorded in a major share of its range, so the raw-material check doesn't hold it back for Good.
- Owns or runs its own production
- Uses little or no cotton (e.g. wool, linen or leather products)
Research notes Game Clothing is accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia, which checks that workers in its Australian supply chain, including outworkers, get award wages and entitlements. The accreditation covers only Australian-made products. The company says its garments are designed, printed and made at its own Brendale facility in Brisbane, but its ECA listing carries a 'majority' made-in-Australia badge rather than a 100% one, so some products may be made elsewhere. It does not publish production shares or name any offshore suppliers. Fabric and yarn production is not covered by ECA audits. No labour allegations were found.
