Welcome to the Australia China Friendship and Development Association Incorporated (ACFDA). ACFDA is an Australian member-based, non-profit organization with an international outlook. The purpose of ACFDA is to enhance friendly relations between Australia and China by driving and supporting the establishment of Australia-China linked endeavors and collaborations in the areas of culture, education and economic exchange.

ACFDA is led by a management team whose members are from a wide range of business and professional backgrounds. They have extensive experience and knowledge of the culture, education, business, export and investment opportunities with China. Many of them are bilingual speakers and have worked in both China and Australia. Their dedication to ACFDA’s objectives drives the day to day operations of ACFDA’s activities. While ACFDA has a small, hard-working, and dedicated staff, the staff is small in number.

The membership is the backbone of the Association. It is rather obvious that a membership organization without sufficient membership would soon cease to exist. But ACFDA relies not only on the existence of our membership base, but upon our member’s involvement, their dedication, their generous commitment of time and immense effort.

As Executive President and a member of ACFDA, I appreciate each of our representatives and their contribution. Our membership has produced a legacy of which we can be proud, and will be the foundation for our continued success. Thank you once again for your support. Your support helps to shape the future of ACFDA, and the benefits we provide to you as a valued member. For non-members, I would welcome your participation as a member of our Association and look forward to having the opportunity to work with you in our shared future.

Kind regards,

Stephen Chen
President, ACFDA
