Continuing our advocacy for Australia’s talented SME manufacturers

Sep 10, 2026

AMGC continues to advocate nationally for Australia’s small-to-medium sized manufacturers, ensuring your capability, ambition, and contribution to Australia’s industrial future is heard across political and commercial channels.

At a government level, AMGC has engaged with Federal Ministers, the Opposition, Independents, and the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC) to ensure SME manufacturers remain visible in national industry policy.

Across the States and Territories, we have worked with the NSW Government on Procurement Reforms, Investment NSW, Regional NSW, Queensland, Western Australian, and Northern Territory Governments, and the Mid-West Development Commission.

To bridge research, industry, and commercial opportunity, AMGC continues to work with organisations including Murdoch University, the University of Western Australia, Curtin University’s Green Tech Hub, SEMMA, the European Australian Business Chamber, Decmil, Defence West, Fortescue, the Department of Energy and Economic Development, and Macquarie Bank’s renewables financing subsidiary, Aula Energy.

AMGC’s advocacy extends through public and industry dialogue, including targeted media activity, participation as a Council Member on the Industry Update Awards, and regular commentary for Manufacturers’ Monthly. Most importantly, we continue to visit manufacturers across Australia’s regions, recognising the businesses building capability on the factory floor and celebrating milestones such as Eilbeck Cranes’ diversification into industrial shredders for North American export markets.

If you are an Australian SME manufacturer looking to advance, scale, commercialise, or connect into new global supply chains, then connect with AMGC today. Together, we can keep Australian manufacturing visible, competitive, resilient, and globally relevant.
