 The Hong Kong Australia Business Association is a nationwide organization with more than 800 members in Australia and Hong Kong. It is dedicated to growing the already strong business links that exist between Australia and Hong Kong.
The Association, initiated by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, was established in 1987 aiming to promote and to reinforce economic ties between Hong Kong/China and Australia. Members are local businessmen with strong Hong Kong connections or those interested in doing business with Hong Kong and Hong Kong organizations based in Australia. The Association provides networking opportunities on which strong trading and investment links are built between Hong Kong companies and Australian companies. It also provides an effective channel of communications for information on economic development and trade opportunities in Hong Kong/China.
Trade between the two economies grew by 9% year-on-year in 2008, to US$7 billion. Australia exports large amounts of wool, seafood, non-ferrous metals and pharmaceutical products to Hong Kong. Going the other way, Hong Kong’s main exports to Australia include telecommunications equipment & parts, toys, Games & sporting goods, medicaments (including veterinary medicaments), other articles of apparel, of textile fabrics, computers, pearls, precious & semi-precious stones. |

Hong Kong is now legitimately part of China, and is certainly its most sophisticated and international city. It has a large expatriate community, including some 50,000 Australians. That’s why Hong Kong is so attractive as a regional base for Australian companies.
Our membership profile cuts across various industry and services sectors. The trading sector is the largest group, followed by legal services and transportation. Other major membership groups include accounting, business consultancy, real estate, retail, education and travel and tourism.
Membership is open to business executives, enterprises, academics, students and other who have an interest in developing a business relationship between Australia and Hong Kong/China.
