who we are

About the Council

The Australia Thailand Business Council (ATBC) is the peak bilateral business organisation for the Australia–Thailand corridor. Established in 1980, the Council has spent more than four decades promoting commercial cooperation between the two countries connecting businesses, investors, government agencies and industry leaders across both markets.

Four decades of connection

Since the 1980s the Council has played a pivotal role in fostering trade, investment and business collaboration between Australia and Thailand through trade missions, business events, advocacy and thousands of member introductions.

Today the Council is entering a new phase of growth under new leadership, building on those foundations with new initiatives, stronger strategic partnerships and richer opportunities for members.

Practical work that moves business across borders

The Council is not a talking shop. Everything we do is designed to produce commercial outcomes for the people and companies in our network.

Advocacy & Government Access

We represent our members' interests with government and regulators in both countries, and connect them directly with the officials and agencies who matter to their business.

Trade Missions & Delegations

We lead and support business missions between Australia and Thailand putting members in the room with senior government officials, industry leaders and matched business partners.

Market insight & Intelligence

Briefings, regulatory updates and on-the-ground commentary from people actively doing business in both markets so members move early and with confidence.

Events & Networking

Forums, roundtables and networking events that bring government, industry and the private sector to the same table, in Sydney, Bangkok and beyond.

Introductions & Business Matching

Warm, targeted introductions across a trusted network to partners, distributors, investors, advisors and clients on both sides of the corridor.
