Australian - New Zealand Chamber of Commerce Philippines (ANZCHAM)

What Australian - New Zealand Chamber of Commerce Philippines (ANZCHAM) does

Australian - New Zealand Chamber of Commerce Philippines (ANZCHAM) is a non-profit membership-based chamber of commerce headquartered in Makati City, Philippines, that serves as the institutional bridge between Australian, New Zealand, and Philippine business communities. Originally founded as the Australian Business Group in 1974 and formally constituted as a chamber of commerce in 1981, it adopted its current bi-national name in 1986 when New Zealand was incorporated; it celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2026. Its core function is facilitating bilateral business linkages through a recurring calendar of Monthly Members' Meetings, signature events (International Women's Day Forum, Year-end Gala), outbound missions such as the Australia Roadshow, and content forums on topics ranging from AI to energy resilience. The chamber monetizes through tiered corporate membership (₱25,000 annually for unlimited member slots) and a partnership hierarchy of Platinum, Gold, and Silver corporate sponsors that underwrite events and visibility, with complementary revenue from the ANZCHAM Learning Academy training arm and event-driven programming.

The organization does not operate proprietary technology; its infrastructure consists of a WordPress-based public website (anzcham.com) and the Glueup third-party SaaS platform for event registration and membership management. ANZCHAM participates in two regional alliances — AustCham ASEAN and the NZ ASEAN Business Alliance — that extend its reach across the wider ASEAN corridor, and in 2024 formalized a partnership with the Philippine Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) to support ease-of-doing-business advocacy. Its customer base spans Australian and New Zealand corporates operating in the Philippines (banks, insurers, BPOs, mining services, engineering consultancies, telecoms, gaming) as well as Philippine companies seeking ANZ market access, served through an executive-led Board drawn from senior leaders of member firms including ANZ, BDO, Qantas, QBE, Telstra, GHD, and Macquarie.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Makati Business Club (MBC): Based in the same Makati CBD as ANZCHAM, MBC is a prominent Philippine business and policy advocacy organisation. It is comparable in mission (business networking + policy advocacy) but covers Philippine-domestic corporates rather than a bilateral corridor, making it a useful peer for benchmarking local influence.
• Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI): PCCI is the dominant domestic Philippine business chamber and the umbrella organisation with which bilateral chambers like ANZCHAM frequently coordinate on policy advocacy. It is broader and more politically prominent than ANZCHAM, providing a useful incumbent benchmark for institutional influence in the Philippines.

Direct peers

• European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP): ECCP is the principal European bilateral chamber in the Philippines and a direct peer in mission, structure, and offerings — both organisations run membership programs, host monthly networking events, advocate on regulatory issues, and provide training, though ECCP represents a wider and larger set of European nationalities.
• British Chamber of Commerce Philippines (BCCP): BCCP is the UK-Philippines bilateral chamber and a close peer in size and operating model to ANZCHAM — both run small-secretariat membership organisations focused on networking events, policy advocacy, and corporate partnerships between a single source country and the Philippines.
• American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (AmCham): The largest and most established bilateral chamber of commerce in the Philippines, AmCham serves as the closest direct peer — both organisations are membership-based business associations facilitating bilateral trade, hosting regular member events, conducting policy advocacy, and offering training programs, just oriented to US rather than ANZ companies.
• Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Philippines (JCCIP): JCCIP is a long-standing bilateral business chamber in the Philippines serving Japanese corporates. It is highly comparable to ANZCHAM in operating model — membership dues, recurring events, bilateral trade advocacy — though its corporate base is significantly larger, providing a useful scale benchmark.
• Australian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (AusCham Vietnam): ANZCHAM has a formal alliance with AusCham Vietnam through AustCham ASEAN and recently co-participated in a Vietnam regional forum. AusCham Vietnam is the ANZ counterpart bilateral chamber in Vietnam, offering a directly comparable Australia-focused membership, events, and advocacy structure in a different ASEAN market.

Emerging players

• New Zealand ASEAN Business Alliance: ANZCHAM is an active member of this regional alliance that links New Zealand businesses across ASEAN. It is a peer in that it serves overlapping New Zealand business interests in the region, providing a comparable networking and advocacy platform though operating at a regional rather than single-country level.
• Canada-Philippines Chamber of Commerce: Another small bilateral chamber in the Philippines, the Canada-Philippines Chamber offers a near-equivalent peer for size and operating model. It is comparable because it competes for the same pool of Philippine corporate partnership dollars and member attention as ANZCHAM, though typically with a smaller footprint.

Others

• FINEX (Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines): FINEX is a long-established Philippine membership organisation for senior finance executives that, like ANZCHAM, runs monthly meetings, networking events, training, and policy dialogue. It is thematically adjacent — useful as a comparable for chamber-of-commerce operations and member engagement in the Philippines, though not a direct competitor for the same member base.
