The Australian Trade Centre and has been established to promote Australian exports to overseas markets and to gain qualified export enquiry, agents and distributors for its members.

The centre's role is to assist international business people to source Australian products, services and business opportunities. We provide the only Australian destination where these visitors can see a cross section of products and services from organisations which are all actively seeking overseas business.

Essentially they act as a broker between potential buyers and sellers, providing a fully staffed display facility, operating 52 weeks a year, for a total cost to the exhibitor roughly equivalent to a single trade magazine advertisement.

Following the official opening of the Australian Trade Centre, held on the 20th of August 2003, with guests the Hon. Tim Holding, Minister for Manufacturing & Export and the Lord Mayor John So, the profile of the ATC continues to grow and is set to become a landmark for trade opportunity.

In the latter part of 2004, they held a number of monthly ‘Ticket to Export’ functions in conjunction with Austrade, City of Melbourne and the Australian Institute of Export, each function attracting attendances of 100 - 160 guests. These events are designed for new exporters and service suppliers to the export market, but also provide our exhibitors with considerable exposure in the domestic market.

BSI has assisted with the successful workshop programme on issues relating to export development such as alternative export market entry strategies and government funded grants. There have been workshops on trading with India, Canada, the Middle East and Central Europe. These workshops have provided valuable information and first hand knowledge from senior Australian and State government representatives in those regions of the challenges faced by Australian companies seeking export markets.

The Australian Trade Centre has regularly hosted overseas trade delegations, representing diverse interests ranging from water management to tertiary education to commercial press, and also government and chambers of commerce representatives from a wide range of countries world wide. These have all increased the exposure of Australian export products to the world market and have resulted in a growing volume of enquiry.
