We’re ready for business, so you’re ready to thrive.
For more than 150 years, Australian Industry Group has been helping Australian businesses to succeed.
Through recession, reform and resurgence, we’ve always been there, representing, helping and advocating for the businesses that shape the nation.
Born from the heart of Australian manufacturing, what began as an alliance of industrial employers has today evolved into a strong and influential organisation. We represent the interests of more than 60,000 businesses across manufacturing, construction, technology, defence, care, logistics and more.
This broad base allows us to influence policy and shape the landscape that our members operate in.
Our purpose is clear: to empower Australian industries. We do this through expert advice, advocacy, training and policy influence, enabling businesses to boost productivity, navigate change and seize new opportunities.
The breadth of guidance we provide is extensive. From advising on workplace regulations or cleaner technologies, to helping shape national skills policy or navigating robotics, AI and quantum technology, we bring steady hands and an independent voice to every issue we touch.
We are deeply connected to the real challenges businesses face, delivering trusted guidance to see them through times of uncertainty, transformation and prosperity.
As Australia confronts the demands of global competition, digital disruption, workforce reform and sustainability imperatives, our role is more vital than ever.
When you partner with Australian Industry Group, you become part of a legacy of progress — one that values hard work, future thinking and mutual success and directly contributes to the prosperity and well-being of the country.
At Australian Industry Group, we’re ready for business, so you’re ready to thrive.

Australian Industry Group has been supporting Australian industry for 150 years. We can trace our roots back to 1873 when the Iron Trades Employers' Association was formed in December of that year after a general strike in the iron trades over the 8-hour day. In 1901 the Association registered under the New South Wales Industrial Arbitration Act and in 1921 changed its name to the Metals Trades Employers' Association (MTEA). In April 1970 it merged with the Metal Industries Association (Victoria) to form a national group - the Metal Trades Industry Association of Australia. In July 1998, MTIA merged with the Australian Chamber of Manufacturers to form Australian Industry Group.
