Kenya Australia Chamber of Commerce (KACC), is a bilateral chamber of commerce which was founded in 2013 in Perth, Western Australia. It was launched by the former Australian High Commissioner to Kenya, H.E. Geoff Tooth. KACC has operational offices in Kenya and Australia.

As a Bilateral chamber of commerce, we act as a bridge to our members in Kenya and Australia saving them valuable time and money: by offering practical services, access to a wide range of events linking the two business environments and access to a local network of trusted partners and contacts in different market sectors.

We promote, develop and further the economic well-being of our members by providing a collective voice in advocacy to represent and protect members’ interests and provide quality services to help members enhance their competitiveness and succeed in their businesses.
