NSW | 2024 FACCI - 125th Anniversary Soirée de Gala | French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry on Glue Up

French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry

The French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FACCI) was founded in 1899. At the time, Australia’s trade relations with France were almost solely dependent on the export of wool. More than a century later, this relationship now includes a host of many other industries.

The French-Australian Chamber is an independent not-for-profit organisation governed by 15 Board of Directors and comprising of more than 500 members. Our head office is based in Sydney and we also have four other Chapters and offices in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

The Chamber is affiliated with CCI France International, a worldwide network of 120 French Chambers operating in 95 countries.

The Chamber's main mission is to promote our members and help French and Australian companies succeed through information, networking and business support services.
