who we are
Australia and Thailand's longest-standing business bridge
The Australia Thailand Business Council is the peak bilateral business organisation dedicated to the strengthening business connections between Australia and Thailand. Established in 1980, we have spent more than forty years building the relationships, trust and market knowledge that turn cross-border ambition into commercial reality. Originally established as the Thai-Australia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TACCI), the organisation evolved into the ATBC in 1987 as part of an Australian Government-supported initiative to strengthen bilateral business links with ASEAN countries.
With principal networks across Australia and Thailand, the Council brings together entrepreneurs, SMEs, corporates, investors and advisors across both countries, Australian businesses expanding into Thailand and Southeast Asia, and Thai businesses and investors building their presence in Australia.
We work hand-in-hand with the institutions that shape the bilateral relationship: the Australian Government, the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra, the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Sydney, the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI), the Department of International Trade Promotion, the Tourism Authority of Thailand and leading Thai business organisations . We also advocate with the Australian and Royal Thai Governments on issues affecting bilateral business, trade and investment. When our members need a door opened, we know which one — and who holds the key.

Access, Insight, and Advocacy for Bilateral Business.
Established in 1980, ATBC promotes commercial cooperation, facilitates business connections, and advocates on behalf of members across Australia, Thailand, and the wider ASEAN region.
HOW WE HELP
Real connections. Real intelligence. Real outcomes.
Membership of the Council is a commercial decision, and it should pay its way. Here is what our network delivers:
For Australian Businesses
Thailand is your gateway to a Southeast Asian market of more than 660 million consumers. The Council gives you the contacts, market knowledge and government access to enter and grow with confidence without learning every lesson the expensive way.
✦ Access to key Thai distributors and partners.
✦ Navigation of BOI incentives and regulations.
✦ Direct introductions to government agencies.
For Thai Businesses & Investors
Australia offers a stable, transparent and resource-rich economy with deep ties to Thailand. The Council connects you to the partners, advisors and opportunities that make an Australian expansion or investment succeed.
✦ Trusted legal, financial, and regulatory advisors.
✦ Market entry strategies and local partnerships.
✦ High-value networking across major Australian cities.
Deeper Connections. Greater Opportunities. Stronger Partnerships.
Our vision is simple: more trade, more investment and more successful partnerships flowing in both directions between Australia and Thailand, with the Council as a trusted platform for strengthening bilateral businessrelationships.
My priority is to ensure every member experiences tangible benefits from their involvement with the Council, and that ATBC is seen as an essential partner in supporting business growth and strengthening bilateral trade and investment between Thailand and Australia.
“Above all, I want every member and sponsor to experience tangible benefits from being part of the Council, and to view the ATBC as an essential partner in their business growth, bilateral trade and investment between Thailand & Australia.”
