Doing Business in Australia is a comprehensive guide and a helpful first step in your journey. It has been prepared for the clients and partners of our international affiliate network, HLB International.

Australia is a multicultural country with a population of approximately 25 million. The population is concentrated in capital and other major cities, mainly on the south and east coasts of the continent.

Australia’s prosperity is largely dependent on trade. It is geographically remote from most of its major markets and its traditional allies. It is a relatively affluent and resource rich country in a populous, developing and rapidly changing region.

Initially, Britain and the Commonwealth countries were a central element of Australia’s foreign policy and economic activity. Close relations now exist with the USA and many Asian countries. While links with Europe remain important factors to Australia in terms of cultural tradition, security, strategic interests and trade, the focus has shifted significantly to the AsiaPacific region.

Setting up in a new country can be daunting. However, Australia is a great choice for individuals and businesses seeking new growth opportunities.
