International Chamber of Commerce Australia

The International Chamber of Commerce Australia is a part of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It is the conduit for Australian business to access international representation and take a seat at the global table.

What is the International Chamber of Commerce Australia?

We advocate on global policy positions affecting Australian business, including cross border trade and investment, information exchanges, foreign and strategic policy, transport, e-commerce, climate change, and many more topics.
