Australia China Business Council

The Australia China Business Council, abbreviated ACBC, is a private sector membership organization founded in 1973 and headquartered in Melbourne, with branch offices in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Darwin, dedicated to promoting bilateral trade, investment, and economic cooperation between Australia and China. China has been Australia's largest two-way trading partner for over a decade, with annual bilateral trade exceeding two hundred fifty billion Australian dollars, and the ACBC serves as the primary business bridge connecting Australian companies with Chinese commercial opportunities across sectors including iron ore and critical minerals exports, agricultural products, education services, tourism, healthcare, financial services, and technology. The organization provides member companies with market intelligence briefings on Chinese regulatory changes and industry developments, business delegation programs to Chinese cities, policy advocacy on bilateral trade barriers and investment regulations, and networking events connecting Australian exporters with Chinese importers and investors. The ACBC national conference and state branch events throughout the year address evolving themes in the Australia-China commercial relationship including supply chain diversification, renewable energy transition, and digital trade.
