News Australia has launched a national campaign, Back Australia: It’s Good For All Of Us, urging consumers and businesses to support local products and jobs. The initiative highlights how everyday spending choices can strengthen the economy, boost sustainability and promote resilience.
“The campaign comes at a time of rapid change and uncertainty,” said Michael Miller, executive chairman of News Corp Australasia. “Choosing Australian products means backing our people, companies, stories and future.”
Back Australia is built around three pillars: consumer guidance on buying local; community impact stories showcasing businesses making a difference; and expert analysis on issues such as manufacturing, competition and policy reform.
These pillars have a high crossover with areas of content which have been shown by numerous studies to attract user interest.
Running until April 2026, the campaign will reach more than 18 million Australians through News Corp titles and partner media.
Lou Barrett, managing director of client partnerships at News Australia, said the campaign responds to genuine consumer sentiment. “Australians want to back local, but barriers like availability, affordability and clarity can get in the way,” she said. “We’re helping bridge that gap.”
Coverage will appear across News Corp mastheads including The Australian, Herald Sun and The Daily Telegraph, alongside lifestyle brands such as Taste.com.au and Body+Soul. The Seven Network will also feature campaign content on Sunrise and 7NEWS.
