Qualitops in Melbourne would be your best bet for Australian made childrens clothing. Also added bonus of sweat-shop free. Prices will be higher then your promo brands.
Smitten Image Design is a NSW based manufacturer also. Excellent customer service. Not sure if they did kids wear but doesn't hurt to ask.
