The AACC-SF was founded in 1981 in response to the growth of business relations between Australia and the San Francisco Bay Area. The primary goal is to contribute to the strong economic impact and foster business networks for Australian companies entering the US Market. The AACC enjoys promoting cross-cultural understanding, and enhancing the quality of life of Australian expatriates who live and work in the Bay Area. The AACC values and promotes the Australian culture and traditions, bringing like minded people together to celebrate the "Aussie way".
