Business keeps Canberra running
Private businesses do amazing things in Canberra. We help deliver the essential goods and services that keep Canberra running, we feed, clothe and entertain Canberrans, help those that are in-need, sell and lease houses, and we deliver essentials such as power, gas, mobile and broadband services across the ACT.
Did you know?
Business helps Canberra! Without it, we would have no town centres, no shopping, no coffee, nowhere to live, no mobile phones and no Netflix! 😳
Private businesses employ more than 2/3rds of working Canberrans? That’s a stonkering 173,000 people!
Most businesses are small – turning over less than $2 million, and have profits of around $100k.
Some larger businesses make more profit, but they typically employ far higher numbers of people, and make a greater economic contribution to the ACT.
Businesses often look at each outlet, state or territory’s performance when deciding to stay open, relocate, or invest more in an area.

Let's get out and support local businesses - and help create a business-friendly environment where the private sector can grow, employ more people and deliver great things for all of us who live in Canberra!
