How we help
Canberra Business Chamber is a member-based organisation, representing a broad range of businesses as well as many of the ACT’s key industry associations and community organisations.
Our purpose is to drive the economic prosperity and growth of Canberra and our region through business.
We provide our members with information, advice and resources. This includes access to Workplace Relations advice, business tools, templates & resources, and relevant & timely information that helps them save time & money and make business decisions.
We facilitate access to business networks that build markets, customer base and supply chains, and our database of 10,000 ACT and region business contacts.
We advocate on behalf of the business community and lead the discussion on the issues that impact business in the ACT. We engage with governments, the media and other stakeholders to ensure the voice of the ACT private sector is heard.

“Hays is an inaugural member of the Canberra Business Chamber and have enjoyed the benefits of membership from the great networking at Business After Business events through to the lobbying activities on behalf of their members and the various programs and functions they run. I strongly recommend that if you’re in business you need to be a member of the Chamber! “
