Anthony Albanese will use his first major speech as Labor leader to call on his wounded party to be "first and foremost" in "the business of creating wealth" and start talking about job opportunities in renewable industries.

In a further attempt to divorce the federal opposition from five years of attacks on business and "the top end of town", Mr Albanese will throw his support behind the mining industry in an address in Perth on Tuesday afternoon, saying Australia can cash in on Queensland's coal exports to help provide the steel to build the world's wind turbines.

Pitching to its once-traditional manufacturing and blue-collar worker base, Mr Albanese will declare: "Labor's vision for Australia will always be one of a country that continues to make things."

"Simply put, the road to a low-carbon future can be paved with hundreds of thousands of clean energy jobs, as well as supporting traditional jobs, including coal mining," Mr Albanese will tell the Committee for Economic Development of Australia.
