Our Core Principles: Champions of Free Enterprise
Supporting Democratic Governance and Market Freedom
ACCI advocates for a free enterprise economy operating within a democratic framework—the proven foundation for achieving genuine fairness while elevating living standards throughout our communities.
Our mission centers on cultivating a world-class business environment within Australia that actively encourages private sector investment, nurtures entrepreneurship, and drives improvements in community living standards across the board.
We champion a dynamic and competitive private sector powered by the vision and determination of business owners, employees, and independent contractors—recognizing these groups as fundamental pillars of a prosperous and equitable society.
Understanding that government policies play a crucial role in economic strength, ACCI ensures Australian business perspectives reach the Australian Government, regulatory authorities, and the broader community, thereby shaping national economic, trade, employment, and workplace policies.
Beyond Traditional Advocacy: More Than Lobbying
Comprehensive Representation, Not Narrow Interests
ACCI transcends the typical role of a lobbyist or specialized think tank. Our policy advocacy and business representation serves the collective interests of Australian enterprise rather than catering to individual clients or limited sectional concerns.
We craft and champion policies specifically designed to establish a world-class business environment. Our policy framework emerges from and speaks for representatives across all sectors of Australian business, pursuing an active, dynamic private sector that drives productivity, economic growth, job creation, and overall economic strength for community benefit.
A Unique National Network
As a private sector membership organisation, ACCI occupies a distinctive position within Australia’s business landscape. Our membership creates a comprehensive National Network comprising peak State and Territory Chambers of Commerce and national Industry Associations, providing coverage for businesses of all sizes across every economic sector nationwide.
This unparalleled reach ensures that when ACCI speaks, it represents the authentic voice of Australian business in all its diversity and complexity.
