The Australian Chamber
of Commerce and Industry
Is the nation's peak council of business organisations
& the authentic voice of Australian enterprise & industry
Australia's largest and most representative business association, ACCI
speaks at a national and international level on behalf of the nation's peak
State and Territory Chambers of Commerce and Industry and National
Industry Associations from all sectors of the economy.
These significant and representative organisations make up ACCI's
National Member Network and give us the mandate and authority to be
the essential connection between industry, governments, regulators and
influential policy forums which affect doing business at home and abroad.
We Stand For:
A Free Enterprise Economy
& Democratic Government
Which is the only sustainable way to achieve fairness
& lift the standard of living across our community
ACCI's focus is the promotion of a world class environment for doing
business in Australia which encourages private sector investment,
entrepreneurship and lifts community living standards.
We aim to foster a dynamic and competitive private sector driven by the
ambition and entrepreneurship of business people, employees and independent
contractors as they essential elements of a prosperous and fair society.
Government policies are important to a strong economy and ACCI ensures that
the voice of Australian business is heard by the Australian Government, regulatory
authorities and the community in order to influence national economic, trade,
employment and workplace policy.
We Are More Than:
A Lobbyist Or 'Think Tank'
ACCI's policy advocacy & business representation is not for
the benefit of only one client or narrow sectional interest
We develop and advocate policies targeted to achieve a world class environment for
doing business. Our policy is developed by and on behalf of representatives of all
Australian business in pursuit of an active, vibrant private sector, productivity,
economic growth, job creation and a strong economy to the benefit of our community.
A private sector membership organisation, ACCI is a unique business organisation in
Australia with our members forming a National Member Network made up of the peak
State and Territory Chambers of Commerce and National Industry Associations which
covers business large and small in all economic sectors across the nation.
