The Australia Pacific Islands Business Council does not directly cover Fiji and Papua-New Guinea. Australian businesses with interests in Fiji should join the Australia Fiji Business Council, and those with interests in Papua-New Guinea should join the Australia Papua-New Guinea Business Council. These other bilateral Business Councils operate in parallel with the Australia Pacific Islands Business Council, and many businesses find their interests best served by having membership two or three of the Councils. The three Councils operate a combined Secretariat, so contact details for the Australia Papua New Guinea Business Council and the Australia Fiji Business Council are the same as for the Australia Pacific Islands Business Council. |
