Knowledge. Networks. Advocacy.

New South Wales was the first state to initiate ‘Sister State’ links, partnering Guangdong in 1979. The commercial side of this relationship has flourished ever since. With Australia’s largest number of people with Chinese background, New South Wales is a driving force in the growing links being forged between Australia and China.

With member access to over 30 functions annually, the New South Wales branch of the Council provides unsurpassed access to business information and networking. Its network of members and includes some of China’s largest companies, along with a diverse range of investors, exporters and services companies. This makes it the perfect place to gain contemporary insights on China and develop your business network.

New South Wales Branch offers a wide range of unique member benefits, including listing in our China Business Services Directory and access to exclusive roundtable discussions with experts. We also host gala events and targeted symposiums, including our 2024 Chinese New Year Gala with the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC, Governor of NSW, The Hon. Chris Minns MP, Premier of NSW and 400 other government and business leaders.

Thank you to our partners who make our work possible.
