Melbourne, a globally competitive economy

Victoria makes up 22 per cent of Australia’s economic activity; its economy is bigger than Singapore, Hong Kong and New Zealand respectively. Its capital Melbourne has a strong history of innovation in advanced manufacturing, technology, health and education.

More than a quarter of Australia’s financial services companies are located in Victoria. It’s also home to six of the 12 largest Australian industry superannuation funds: an industry with over A$2 trillion under management nationwide.

World-class service enterprises, research facilities, food and fibre production and technology businesses are just part of a diverse and stable economy underpinned by strong governance, rigorous regulation and financial security.

The logistics hub

The Port of Melbourne is Australia’s largest container and general cargo port and the largest container port in Australasia.

Other deepwater ports close to Melbourne are vital to providing the Australian economy with access to and from world markets, confirming Victoria as the nation’s logistics hub.

The window to Asia

China and Melbourne are separated by a two-hour standard time zone and a 10-hour direct flight time between Shanghai and Melbourne.

Melbourne is Australia’s genuine around-the-clock business centre, with the country’s only major 24-hour international airport.
