For over a century, the Australian British Chamber of Commerce has been the leading independent organisation promoting, fostering and furthering bilateral relations between Australia and the United Kingdom.
With strong, longstanding ties to the Australian and UK business communities and their respective governments, we provide direct networking opportunities across the breadth of industry sectors. We assist you in making meaningful, mutually beneficial connections to support your business goals.
Our domestic event calendar, along with our International Catalysts, direct introductions, public policy contributions and marketing efforts align to stimulate interest and action in the areas of energy transition and renewables; national security and defence; financial and professional services; AI, cyber and tech; and much more.
What we do
The Australian British Chamber of Commerce warmly welcomes all businesses looking to explore, enter and engage with the UK and Australian markets. We have got an excellent team with networks across all states and extensive knowledge of growth industry sectors. We’d be delighted to help support you and your organisation.
Domestic Events
We host an average of 150 events per year. These include invitation-only CEO boardroom lunches, large-scale business breakfasts and lunches with high profile industry leaders, networking receptions, wine and gin tastings, sports lunches and cultural evenings, as well as webinars.
International Catalysts
Our flagship Catalyst are multi-city, multi-day conferences held in the UK and across Australia. The Catalysts provide an opportunity for our delegates to hear and learn from C-suite speakers, including government officials, leading strategists and other decision makers. They facilitate knowledge exchange, encourage trade and investment, and champion the urgency of fresh policy on key topics such as Energy Transition, Defence, Health, Financial Services and Infrastructure.
Introductions to our Extensive Network
With a growing network of 30,000+, we provide a variety of introductions to our Chamber community. These can be both direct introductions, connecting you to the individuals and businesses of your choice, or through our very popular networking receptions, allowing you to get in front of the right people, faster.
Policy Contributions and Advocacy
We engage in direct dialogue with the British High Commissioner, the Australian High Commissioner in the UK, British Consuls-General in Australia, and other Australian government officials, legislators and regulatory bodies to discuss and contribute to policy matters on behalf of our Members. Our domestic events, International Catalysts, and marketing and communications are also avenues for public policy contribution.
Digital Marketing and Publications
Our Members can promote their business and access each other through our weekly e-newsletters, social media channels, online business directory, Member-to-Member Offers programme, blog and Quarterly magazine, The Chamber.
Our offerings
For over a century, the Chamber has worked to deliver three powerful offerings for our Principal Sponsors and Members, and to lift and strengthen the Australian-United Kingdom relationship.
Connectivity
From securing new clients to navigating unexpected challenges, the strength of your connections determines your trajectory of success.
