About Business NSW

Championing business for over 200 years

Business NSW is one of Australia’s few enduring, independent, not-for-profit organisations – and the only one solely focused on the success and wellbeing of the business community across New South Wales.

Our purpose

We exist to support businesses across NSW to prosper, grow and navigate change with confidence.

Our role goes beyond advocacy – we are a trusted partner to the business community, committed to creating an environment where businesses of all sizes can succeed.

By working closely with our members, we:

  • Identify the critical challenges businesses face.
  • Develop practical, evidence-based policy solutions.
  • Drive real impact that supports a strong economy and thriving business environment.

Your trusted subject matter experts

We conduct in-depth research, deliver regular business surveys, and provide meaningful insights to shape policy outcomes that work for business – and are practical for government and decision-makers.
