Our vision is to make Australia the best place in the world to do business – so that Australians have the jobs, living standards and opportunities to which they aspire.

Our membership includes all state and territory chambers of commerce and over 70 industry associations. Together we represent hundreds of thousands of businesses in every state and territory and across all industries. Ranging from small and medium enterprises to the largest companies, our network employs millions of people. We focus on issues that impact on business, including economic reform, industry policy, energy, trade and investment, workplace relations, work health and safety, and employment, migration, education and training. We give Australian businesses a platform to advocate for free trade and open markets and influence policy decisions affecting business in national and global forums. W business. W Australia. Activities & Achievements CEO REPORT The safety and well-being of people working in the private sector was our focus during Safe Work October. ACCI has led the way in securing government, business and union support for practical measures to improve work health and safety outcomes for people in small businesses. We can all be safety champions, for ourselves and our colleagues. To make it easier to do business, we need smarter rules and regulations, not more. ACCI has been at the heart of the government’s ongoing project to cut red tape to free up businesses to better meet the needs of the communities we serve.
