An open, pro-business environment
If you want global market access, investing in Australia makes sense.
Australia participates in 18 free trade agreements (FTAs), and is negotiating more agreements to boost international trade opportunities.
Your Queensland-based business will be in a prime position to profit from these agreements, especially when trading with our neighbouring Asian markets.
Queensland businesses exported A$100 billion in goods in 2019 (around one-quarter of gross state product) to 184 countries – including China, Japan, Korea and India, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia.
We’re easy to work with
The Queensland Government gets behind business and encourages investors with:
