About Us

Queensland's largest regional chamber

The Cairns Chamber of Commerce was established in 1909 to be the voice of Cairns business. We represent organisations across every industry, from sole traders to multinationals based in Cairns, providing support to our members through four key pillars: listen, advocate, inform, connect.

We have been the voice of Cairns’ business since 1909, prioritising the issues of our members and collaborating with all stakeholders, to create better conditions for business success.

We are a not-for-profit, apolitical body whose mission is to help our members businesses grow.​

Operating on a membership-based model, our members are at the centre of everything we do.
