ABOUT THE APBC
Established in April 1975, the Council seeks to foster friendship, understanding, and mutual benefit between the business communities of both countries.

The APBC works closely with its counterparts in the Philippines such as the Philippine Australia Business Council. The APBC also maintains its relations with the Australian New Zealand Chamber of Commerce (ANZCHAM) and the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry Inc, based in Manila.
