Advocacy & Committees

Member-led groups, a policy voice, and a fund that counts what it gives.

AustCham Thailand brings members together to connect, share knowledge and shape a better business environment. We coordinate member-led committees, develop policy positions in consultation with stakeholders, and grow our community impact through CSR.

01 / Committees

Eight sub-committees for 2026

The eight sub-committees announced for 2026, in the order their page lists them. Their page also introduces the members who lead each group in artwork rather than in text, so no committee chair is named here: reading a name off a graphic and printing it as a fact is how a real person acquires a job they do not hold.

Our Sub-Committees are designed to create greater opportunities for members to connect with industry peers and leaders, share knowledge and business insights, contribute to meaningful Chamber initiatives, help shape future events, advocacy and engagement activities, and strengthen the Australian Thai business community.

02 / Advocacy

How the chamber says it makes the case

Their own description of the method, from their history page.

Through member committees and structured engagement with Thai and Australian stakeholders, the Chamber advances practical recommendations on the business environment, using member surveys, forums, roundtables and policy submissions.

Helping to make a better Thailand

AustCham supports members’ CSR initiatives. Funds are raised via major events, for example The Great Australian Bash and the AFL Grand Final, and 50 THB from each Sundowners ticket. Each year members propose worthy causes, recommendations are made by the CSR Committee and approved by the Board.

AustCham CSR has donated medical equipment, learning materials, computers and millions of baht over the years. We look forward to growing our impact alongside members.

04 / Causes

What the CSR Committee has put forward

Each year members propose worthy causes, the CSR Committee recommends, and the Board approves. These are the years and the causes their own page names.

Phuket Has Been Good To Us2020
BlueScope and Friends of Thai Daughters2022
Phuket Has Been Good To Us2024

Two of the three years name the same cause, and both are carried, because that is how their page prints it.
