Ariarne Titmus named Australian Made Week ambassador for 2025

Swimming champion Ariarne Titmus, the gold medal winner in the women’s 400-metre freestyle at the last two Olympics, has been announced as the ambassador for this year’s Australian Made Week.

Titmus – who is also the world record-holder in the 200-metre and 400-metre freestyle – said in a statement on Tuesday that she is “super excited to fly the flag for Australian Made goods”.

Titmus added: “I believe you can do anything with a strong work ethic and the right people behind you. 

“Which is why I’m throwing my support behind my fellow Aussies who are dedicated to creating locally made products for us to enjoy here and around the world.

“I’d love everyone to join me on Team Australian Made – because no matter what you’re buying, when you buy Australian Made, we all win.”

This is the fifth year Australian Made Week will be celebrated, and it will run from May 19 – 25.

Australian Made Campaign (AMCL) introduced the initiative in 2021, and describes it as a celebration of “the hard work, grit, determination, and creativity of makers and growers across the country.”

Chief Executive Ben Lazzaro said Titmus is “a true champion and a fitting ambassador for our annual celebration of Australian manufacturers. 

“We are absolutely thrilled that she will headline our campaign to raise awareness of the importance of buying local.”
