Austrade plays a role in helping secure Australia’s economic prosperity, through our work as the Australian Government’s international trade, education and investment promotion agency, and through working to strengthen Australia’s tourism sector.

The past year has been one of achievement, helping Australian business and institutions overcome barriers to successful export into difficult markets, and continuing moving toward deeper sectoral focus on facilitating foreign investment into Australia (reflected in the Government’s decision to change our name to the Australian Trade and Investment Commission). 

This Corporate Plan sets out how Austrade will build on those achievements during the next four years. We will continue to provide our expertise and market insight to Australian businesses and institutions on how to access the significant opportunities arising overseas, including those from Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). We will continue to coordinate ministerial-led business missions in international markets, using the badge of government to open doors, maintaining the successful program of Australia Week business events. And we will continue to deepen our capability and capacity to attract and facilitate foreign investment in agreed priority areas.
