Our social enterprise charity provides employment and training to people from refugee and new migrant communities via our ethical manufacturing studio and retail store.

We build skills in a supportive environment and provide first Australian jobs.

We believe in an Australia where refugees and new migrants are warmly welcomed and settle well, celebrating our diversity, collective skills and strengths.

Our work is grounded in values that put the skills and stories of refugee and new migrant women at the centre of the fashion industry.

WE ARE A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE AND CHARITY

The Social Outfit is a registered Incorporated Association, and recognised as a Public Benevolent Institution Charity. As we hold Deductible Gift Recipient Status, any donation made to us over AU$2.00 is tax deductible. Further, as a trading social enterprise, any income generated from product sales is directed back into the organisation in order to deliver on our social mission. We are registered with, and report regularly to, the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). We are also accredited with Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA), and are a Social Traders certified social enterprise.  

Our goal is to manufacture and sell ethical and sustainable quality products that help to financially empower women from refugee and new migrant backgrounds. While doing that, we also aim to provide customers with unique pieces that tell amazing human stories.
