Responsible, competitive and smart policy solutions are needed to build a more resilient Australian society and economy, which is better positioned to withstand future crises and provide opportunities for all Australians.
As Australia and the rest of the world recover from the Coronavirus pandemic and look to the future, we have an opportunity to learn from the crisis, challenge our traditional ways of thinking and build a more robust society and economy that not only aids our recovery and gets people back to work, but which shapes a more resilient Australia.
With its direct links to all parts of the Australian supply chain, the chemistry industry is central to maintaining Australia’s long-term economic prosperity, community health and high standard of living.
We advocate for policy settings that provide a more confident operating environment for investment and growth of the chemistry sector, its customers and the broader economy they enable.
