AustCham originated in 1977-1978 when a group of Australians with business interests in Singapore met on a regular basis at the Australian High Commission. In 1981, the Singapore Australian Business Council (SABC) was established. Rules were drawn up and in January 1982, SABC held its inaugural meeting.
In 15 June 2001, the Singapore Australian Business Council formally changed its name to 'Australian Chamber of Commerce, Singapore', more commonly known as 'AustCham'.
Today, AustCham boasts nearly 600 corporate and individual members - Singaporeans, Australians and other nationalities who have an interest in trade, investment, educational and social links between the two countries.
