HQ Significance:

The National Office is key to ACBC's mission of strengthening economic ties between Australia and China, driving national initiatives and representing member interests at a federal level.

Values Reflected in HQ: Collaboration (through its partnership with Asialink Business and location within The University of Melbourne), knowledge leadership, and a commitment to fostering robust Australia-Asia relations.

Location:

While primarily focused on facilitating bilateral relations between Australia and China, the ACBC supports its members' global functions by providing critical insights into the Chinese market, a key component of many Australian companies' international strategies. It achieves this through its extensive network within Australia and strong connections in China, facilitating inbound and outbound business delegations, offering policy advocacy that impacts international trade, and providing platforms for engagement with Chinese businesses and officials. ACBC operates through its Australian national and state offices, collaborating with partner organizations in China rather than maintaining permanent overseas physical offices.
