Thank you to everyone who joined us last Thursday for AustCham Singapore's Breakfast Briefing with Her Excellency Robyn Mudie, Australian High Commissioner to Singapore.

In her keynote, High Commissioner Mudie reflected on the strength and maturity of the Australia-Singapore relationship - one built on trust, shared priorities and a clear commitment to practical collaboration. From economic resilience and essential supplies to the green economy, energy, innovation and regional connectivity, the relationship continues to create meaningful opportunities for business.

Our panel of senior Team Australia representatives from Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) and the Australian High Commission, Singapore explored what this means in practice for Australian businesses. Key themes included Singapore’s role as a regional launchpad, opportunities across AI, energy, infrastructure, data centres and defence, and the value of building long-term partnerships grounded in a clear understanding of local needs.

No matter the industry or area of focus, a key takeaway for our members and guests is that successful market engagement is not transactional. It takes regular connection, a strong value proposition, and collaboration across the Team Australia network.

Thank you to High Commissioner Mudie, our panellists Amelia Walsh, David Wise, Gaurav Johri and Katrina Lourie, and to all attendees for a lively and insightful discussion.

This event would not be possible without our Event Partners, ANZ and BlueScope. Thank you for your continued support of the Chamber.

A full recap article and photo gallery will be available on our website later this week.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us last Thursday at our first Excellence in Leadership Series event of 2026: In Conversation with Elizabeth Broderick AO. We've captured the key insights from the conversation in our latest Insights article. Read the full recap here 👉 https://www.austcham.org.sg/insights-series/conversation-elizabeth-broderick-ao-building-inclusive-leadership-why-future

As one of Australia's leading voices on gender equality, cultural reform and inclusive leadership, Elizabeth shared practical insights drawn from decades of working with leaders and organisations around the world, highlighting that inclusive leadership is not just about policies - it's about the everyday behaviours, accountability and courage that shape organisational culture.

The engaging session was expertly moderated by Emily Follett, Australian Deputy High Commissioner to Singapore, who also outlined some of the Australian government key initiatives to advance gender equality.

The key takeaways from the session:
✅ Inclusion starts with leadership and the behaviours leaders role model every day.
✅ Sustainable cultural change requires accountability, transparency and measurable action.
✅ Stories can be just as powerful as data in driving meaningful change.
✅ As AI transforms the workplace, leaders have an important role to play in ensuring innovation is inclusive and equitable.

Members in our community are actively driving change within the organisations. During the session last Thursday, we were proud to showcase the progress in DEI made by some of our members - Rio Tinto, QBE Asia, Mallesons, and Qantas. Thank you for contributing to this important conversation.

Finally, we would like to extend our gratitude to Elizabeth for sharing her experience and expertise, to Emily for moderating such a thoughtful discussion. This event would not be possible without our co-organiser, the Australian High Commission, Singapore, our Event Partner, MARUNDA Private Limited, and our Venue Partner, ANZ - thank you for your partnership and we look forward to more opportunities to collaborate.

Last Thursday, AustCham Singapore had the pleasure of partnering with the Brisbane Economic Development Agency to showcase Brisbane’s exciting opportunities for investment and expansion. Full event photo gallery is now up on our website 👉 https://www.austcham.org.sg/event-gallery/investing-brisbane-golden-era-opportunity

At the Brisbane: A Golden Era of Opportunity Forum, senior leaders and global investors gathered in Singapore to explore what makes Brisbane one of the most attractive destinations for investment. From its cutting-edge infrastructure to a thriving innovation ecosystem, Brisbane is where talent, tourism, and capital converge to drive long-term success.

With the momentum building toward the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Brisbane is entering a transformative decade. The strong investment interest from Singapore speaks volumes; our speakers cited notable examples like City Developments Limited’s acquisition of Sofitel Brisbane Central and Altea Investments’ decision to establish their Australian flagship at QIMR Berghofer.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the vibrant discussions. We look forward to continuing to support these exciting developments and forging stronger ties between Brisbane and Singapore.
