Policy Agenda

The Business Council of Australia works to achieve economic, social and environmental goals that will benefit Australians now and into the future.

Members of the BCA are the chief executives of 100 of Australia’s largest and most economically significant companies who collectively employ more than one million people.

Our aspiration is for Australia to become the best place in the world in which to live, learn, work and do business.  

We also recognise the role of business in showing leadership and promoting informed national discussion on important issues.
