The sector contributes approximately $105 billion annually to the economy, supports around 215,000 jobs, and is a major source of public revenue, contributing $21.9 billion in taxes and royalties in 2024-25 alone. Enabling a cleaner energy future Australian Energy Producers supports the Australian Government’s goal of net zero emissions by 2050.

Australia’s minerals industry is innovative, technologically advanced, capital intensive, and environmentally and socially progressive. The industry is a major contributor to national income, investment, high-wage jobs, exports, and government revenues. The MCA engages with the community, other industries, industry and representative bodies, opinion leaders and other stakeholders to reinforce and raise awareness of the industry’s contribution to Australia and Australians. The industry is committed to contributing to the sustained growth and prosperity of current and future generations through the integration of economic progress, responsible social development and effective environmental management. The MCA advocates consistent policy settings for: An industry free of fatalities, injuries and diseases, where everyone who goes to work returns home safe and healthy Building and sustaining respectful workplaces Improved environmental performance Stronger relationships and partnerships with First Nations communities based on respect for local cultures, protection of heritage and the near and long-term social and economic aspirations, prosperity and wellbeing of those communities An economic framework which supports global competitiveness, sustainable economic growth, low inflation, low interest rates and fiscal responsibility A skilled, productive and flexible workforce and a modern workplace relations system Streamlining state and federal approval processes while maintaining environmental protection Promoting taxation reforms which reduce Australia’s internationally uncompetitive corporate tax rate Delivery of reliable and affordable energy at least cost while putting Australia on a pathway to a zero emissions future Access to natural resources and competitive markets for land, water, energy, capital, production inputs, human resources, and end products. Our Advocacy Australian mining is a global leader in providing the essential elements of modern life while growing the nation’s economy and sustaining regional communities. Health and safety The safety, health and psychological wellbeing of the mining workforce – where everyone who goes to work returns home safe and healthy – is the industry’s number one value and commitment. Workplace relations Australia needs a modern and flexible workplace system that attracts investment, creates and preserves jobs, supports communities and contributes to national prosperity. Social performance Mining must earn and maintain the trust of regional communities to operate. This requires respectful and ongoing engagement, enduring community benefits and fair, transparent practices. Economic contribution The resources sector pays the highest wages, generates substantial economic activity, pays significant tax and delivers more export revenue than all other sectors combined. Skills and training Flexible learning, specialist training and stronger collaboration between industry and education providers will generate more highly skilled, highly paid jobs across regional Australia.

Introduct: What We Do We work hard to understand what’s happening in our economy. We undertake the only non-government economic forecast for WA. And we provide a quarterly view of consumer and business confidence so that we can understand the big challenges facing our society.   We also commit to developing public policy options that reflect the needs of business, families and the WA workforce.   Our commitment to working with stakeholders across the community extends to work we do with the Australian Trade Commission, regional Chambers, bilateral Chambers, Indigenous bodies and many other industry associations in WA and across the nation.   We provide expert advice to organisations on workplace and employee relations, help businesses expand their international trade footprint and we’ve supported more than 270,000 apprentices and trainees in the past two decades to get a start in their working life. We also maintain a directory of Aboriginal businesses in WA to support their growth.   Through our Education Development Fund, we also support students to enrich their economics studies, to understand and access career opportunities and to think of new ideas to face critical societal problems.   This is how we advance trade and commerce in WA.   Our Values More than nine in 10 of our people believe CCIWA is a great place to work.   We’ve built our culture and values together. It’s more than a set of words. It’s about how we behave with each other and across the community. It’s how we get things done. It’s what we stand for.   We’ve collaborated across the organisation – including with our Board – to develop our desired culture statement and values.   The work we’ve done is directly aligned with our strategic plan. And our commitment to our values reflects why our membership is growing, we’re delivering new products and services into the market and we’re financially sustainable.   Staff engagement is measured throughout the year. We work together to fix any challenges we’re facing. Our latest staff engagement score is 84%, placing CCIWA in the top decile of organisations in Australia. We are also recognised as an ‘inclusive employer’by the Diversity Council of Australia.   CCIWA is also committed to helping build the skills of Aboriginal people across our State and supporting Aboriginal businesses to thrive. Find out more about our reconciliation commitment.   Our History We have been advancing trade and commerce in WA since 1890. Then known as the Perth Chamber of Commerce, 20 founding Members made up of merchants and importers joined forces with a primary focus on improving the system of trucking on the Fremantle Jetty.   We have been committed to advocating for good policy since our earliest days, raising issues about industrial relations and growing trade on behalf of the WA business community.   Australian Chamber Movement We are a part of the Australian Chamber movement, our nation’s largest and most representative business network.   The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is our national voice on issues affecting business. We share its vision to make Australia the best place to live and do business.   Members of the Australian Chamber include all state and territory chambers of commerce, national industry associations and a council of business leaders from individual enterprises.   Together, we represent Australian businesses of all shapes and sizes, across all sectors of the economy, and from every corner of our country.   Every CCIWA Member benefits from the advocacy undertaken at a national level in the name of free enterprise.
