The Regional Chambers of Commerce and Industry of WA (RCCIWA) is a not-for-profit member driven organisation made up of individual regional Chambers and Business Associations all over this state. With 41 regional Chambers and Business Associations as members representing over 7000 member businesses, RCCIWA ensures that business communities in regional WA are connected to each other and are being heard by those who make the decisions.
Our role is to promote, develop and support all regional Chambers and Business Associations, provide a voice for business in regional WA and act as a conduit for information and advocacy.
We recognise that positive collaboration is the best way to effect positive change and with that in mind we have developed strong relationships and alliances with key decision makers of this state and a broad cross-section of stakeholders. In particular we work very closely with the Small Business Development Corporation, CCIWA, many Government agencies and departments and several industry associations.
Formed in 1999 under the leadership and passion of our founding President Mr Rolf Stene, the RCCIWA quickly became a very strong network of regional business leaders, which it continues to be today. With the aim of ensuring that the businesses in the “Bush” had a voice in the City, the RCCIWA has established a very credible line of communication with many key decision makers of this state and the nation, underpinned by the genuinely invested and far-reaching network of our members.
