The Export Council of Australia (ECA) is the leading authority on international trade, representing all players involved in global commerce. With a rich history dating back to 1957 as the Australian Institute of Export, the ECA has evolved into a comprehensive resource for businesses engaged in overseas trade. Our diverse membership comprises individuals, small, medium, and large enterprises spanning various industries, including agrifood, well-being and health, wine, defense, entertainment, information technology, cyber security, and construction.

As the hub of the international trade ecosystem, we foster strategic partnerships with organizations that support exporters, offering marketing and legal advice, logistics coordination, and information dissemination. We also collaborate closely with government departments, specialized agencies like Austrade and IP Australia, and academic institutions such as the University of Canberra and the Australian National University. Through this extensive network, we advocate for our members and address critical issues like shipping reliability, simplified trade procedures, indigenous business growth, and environmental sustainability.

In addition to providing updated information on government policies, market conditions, and regulations, we offer tailored training and advisory services to enhance exporters' capacity, knowledge, and skills. This enables them to navigate dynamic trade landscapes, respond to evolving global rules, and harness emerging technologies. By creating vital business ecosystems and facilitating key relationships, we empower exporters to seize opportunities, source materials, streamline logistics, and facilitate financial transactions.
