Job cut fears at South Australia's Millicent mill [AU]

Friday 2 Oct 2026

 
Australia’s national timber union is calling on governments to provide greater support for domestic manufacturing following job security concerns at one of the nation’s key tissue plants.

The historic Millicent mill in regional South Australia has operated since 1960 and supplies millions of toilet rolls nationwide. It now faces uncertainty following its acquisition by international hygiene firm Arbex.

While the number of potential redundancies remains unconfirmed, the Timber, Furnishing and Textiles Union is in discussions with mill management over proposed operational changes. District Secretary Denise Campbell-Burns says the union will strongly advocate for affected workers and the wider Millicent community of around 4,700 people.
