Trade and business

Trade

Australia is one of the most open and successful economies in the world. We have a globally integrated economy with strong trade and investment links with the growing Asia-Pacific region. Our openness to trade and investment and the competitiveness of our businesses overseas have made a major contribution to Australia’s 28 years of uninterrupted annual economic growth.

Our economic resilience, steady growth prospects and sound governance makes Australia one of the safest places in the world to do business.

The Australian Trade and Investment Commission – Austrade – is Australia’s leading trade and investment agency. Austrade are experts in connecting Australian businesses to the world and the world to Australian businesses. The Austrade Office in Kuala Lumpur can provide advice to Australian businesses looking to do business in Brunei.

OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises

The Australian Government encourages Australian enterprises operating overseas and multinational enterprises operating in Australia to observe the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. The Guidelines provide voluntary principles and standards for responsible business conduct in a variety of areas, including:

  • human rights;
  • employment and industrial relations;
  • environment;
  • combating bribery, bribe solicitation and extortion;
  • consumer interests;
  • science and technology;
  • competition; and
  • taxation.

The Australian National Contact Point (AusNCP) promotes the use of the OECD Guidelines and contributes to the resolution of issues relating to their implementation, including facilitating access to conciliation services.
