Benefits of AustCham Membership
The Hong Kong-based Chamber is the largest Australian business community outside of Australia, and is the second largest of some 28 International Chambers of Commerce in Hong Kong. Membership of AustCham Hong Kong offers the following benefits:
Advocacy
The Chamber has a charter to represent and promote the interests of Australian business in the region which it pursues through business-to-government relations with the Hong Kong and Australian governments, leading policy institutions and individuals.
Business Development
The Chamber stages two events, on average, each week to provide members the forum for meeting new contacts, potential clients and suppliers and to open up business opportunities.
Professional Learning
