Trade ties

THE trade and investment partnership between Australia and the Philippines is on the way up. With a 300,000 strong Filipino community in Australia and 34 direct flights per week, Australia is a prime destination for tourism, education and training. More Filipinos studying overseas choose Australia as their study destination than any other country, with over 20,000 Filipinos currently studying at universities and technical colleges down under.

Philippine companies are also taking advantage of investment opportunities, with a number of major Philippine conglomerates investing in Australia to secure their supply chain and access advanced products and technology.
