AustCham ASEAN

A benefit of every tier, not a sponsorship.

The Australia-ASEAN Chamber of Commerce (AustCham ASEAN) is the leading voice for Australian business within the ASEAN region and is the sole Australian official dialogue partner of the ASEAN Business Advisory Council. The Australian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam is a foundation member.

Their membership page lists membership of AustCham ASEAN as a benefit of every tier, so this is something joining here carries rather than something the chamber is given.
