What is the Tech Council of Australia?

The Tech Council of Australia (TCA) is the united voice of the nation’s leading technology companies. Our mission is to help shape Australia’s digital future by driving growth, investment, and innovation in the tech sector.

With 980,506 Australians employed in tech-related jobs and the industry contributing $167 billion to GDP, technology is one of the country’s largest and fastest-growing economic drivers. We work closely with government, businesses, and the community to create a thriving, tech-enabled economy.

From startups to global leaders, our members represent the heart of Australia’s tech ecosystem. By joining the Tech Council, members gain access to exclusive policy discussions, networking opportunities, and industry insights.
