About Us

WHO WE ARE

The Australian British Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1910, is the leading independent organisation in Australia promoting, fostering and furthering trade and investment between Australia and the United Kingdom.

Our programme of events, public policy contributions and network of decision-makers provides our Members opportunities to further their business interests by connecting, engaging and influencing leaders and key decision-makers in both private and public sectors.

We have offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth and actively host events in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra.

HOW WE DO IT

• Introductions to key influencers and decision makers

• Platform for introductions to our extensive membership and business community

• Policy dialogues on an array of sectoral interests, including the upcoming Australia-UK Free Trade Negotiations

• Industry expert seminars and thought leadership

• Programme of bilateral delegations to the United Kingdom and Australia

THE AUSTRALIA-UK RELATIONSHIP

The relationship between Australia and the UK is significant. We share both history and culture; government, legal and financial institutions; language and sporting ties. We have shared security interests and a significant bilateral trade and investment history.

Bilateral trade stands at more than $815 billion, Australia’s eighth largest trading relationship. The United Kingdom is the second largest source of foreign investment in Australia, valued at $574.8 billion. The total Australian investment in the United Kingdom was $507.4 billion in 2019, the second most important foreign investment destination.*

This relationship forms the basis of the Chamber’s business model.
