Bunnings is the most trusted brand in the 12 months to June 2025 – a seventh consecutive quarterly victory for the hardware retailer stretching back to late 2023. Bunnings was also recognised last week as Australia’s ‘Best of the Best’ Most Trusted Brand for 2025. For the third straight quarter the top five places remain unchanged with budget supermarket Aldi in second place, discount department store Kmart in third, technology and consumer products giant Apple in fourth and leading car manufacturer Toyota in fifth place.

The latest Roy Morgan ranking of Australia’s most trusted and distrusted brands has revealed a big gain in trust for the nation’s major banks. The Commonwealth Bank is Australia’s most trusted bank and the seventh most trusted brand overall, while Roy Morgan’s rankings also show a decline in trust in the ABC, which fell out of the top 20 most trusted brands for the first time since the report commenced in 2017. Commenting on the ABC’s decline, Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine said it was due to a decline in trust among the ABC’s ‘heartland ‘of Labor voters
