Doing Business in Australia

Australia’s economic resilience and potential provide a safe, low-risk environment in which to do business. Over the past 22 years, Australia has experienced economic growth at a real GDP average growth rate of 3.4 per cent per annum, unmatched by any other major advanced economy. This growth is largely driven by Australia’s position within the booming Asia-Pacific region and its strong economic foundations and globally significant industries, including agribusiness, education, mining, tourism and wealth management.
