The Australian and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ANZCCJ), in partnership with key Chamber members, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer and the Australia-Japan Research Centre (AJRC), is pleased to extend an exclusive invitation to our Platinum and Gold Members for a private dinner briefing on the 9th Annual Japan–Australia Investment Report.
Produced by Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer in collaboration with the AJRC at the Australian National University, the Japan-Australia Investment Report is widely regarded as the benchmark publication analysing cross-border investment flows between the two countries. The report tracks Japanese mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic partnerships in Australia, providing detailed insights into deal volumes, sector trends and the evolving commercial relationship between Japan and Australia, as well as the strategic forces underpinning Japanese investment, including energy and resources security, renewable energy and decarbonisation initiatives, real estate and infrastructure investment, and emerging sectors such as technology and critical minerals.
We are delighted to welcome co-authors of the report, Damien Roberts and Professor Shiro Armstrong, who will present the key findings from the 9th edition. The briefing will draw on an in-depth analysis of Japan-Australia M&A transactions and partnerships throughout 2025, highlighting the major deal trends that shaped the year and the key drivers expected to influence the trajectory of the bilateral investment relationship in 2026 and beyond. The report is widely used by investors, corporations, policymakers and advisors as a reference point for understanding where Japanese capital is flowing and where the next Australia–Japan investment opportunities lie.
This event is proudly supported by Business Events Perth.

ANZCCJ invites members and friends to join us in celebrating International Women's Day at a special breakfast event on Friday 6 March 2026 at the Pullman Tokyo Tamachi.
Join Rionne McAvoy, President & CEO, Japan Media Services Inc., and director of The Ones Left Behind: The Plight of Single Mothers in Japan, for a fireside chat with Mayumi Nishida, Co-representative Director of Heart Full Family - a charity dedicated to supporting single mothers and fathers on their path to independence and empowering single-parent families to lead fulfilling, connected lives.
Together, our speakers will explore the 2026 International Women’s Day global theme, “Give to Gain.” This theme - rooted in the idea that progress accelerates when we uplift others - encourages individuals, businesses, and communities to take meaningful action that strengthens the collective good. The IWD movement highlights that generosity is not passive; it is a deliberate investment in advancing women’s equality.
This year, ANZCCJ has chosen to focus on single mothers and the realities of single-parent households in Japan, an issue that lies at the crossroads of gender, inequality, economic participation, and social inclusion. Rionne’s award-winning documentary The Ones Left Behind offers an unflinching look at the challenges many single mothers endure: systemic barriers, societal stigma, limited support structures, and the increasing number of women who fall into poverty despite working tirelessly. Through powerful personal stories, the film reveals how structural inequities and rigid employment norms continue to constrain opportunities for women raising children alone.
These experiences reflect core IWD principles - dignity, opportunity, representation - and underscore the urgent need to create a society where no woman is left behind because of her circumstances. By spotlighting this issue, the Chamber aims to promote awareness of an often-overlooked social and economic challenge - one that is deeply connected to Japan’s future workforce health, productivity, and community resilience. It is also an opportunity for our members to reflect on how each of us can “give” in ways that enable others, and our society as a whole, to “gain.”
The conversation will explore practical ways individuals and organisations can meaningfully #GiveToGain - through mentorship, sharing expertise, opening networks, offering resources, advocating for change, and creating opportunities - and how these commitments build long-term, sustainable impact for women, families, and society as a whole.
Speakers include
- Helen Stylianou, Australian Chargé d'affaires to Japan
- Ambassador Lucy Duncan, New Zealand Chargé d’Affaires in Japan
- Rionne McAvoy, President & CEO, Japan Media Services Inc., Director of The Ones Left Behind: The Plight of Single Mothers in Japan

Against a backdrop of shifting interest rates, record-low vacancy in key markets, and a suite of new housing and planning reforms, Australia’s residential landscape is undergoing rapid change. From apartments and master planned developments to land lease communities and retirement living, the sector is seeing evolving capital flows, new delivery models, and an increased focus on affordability, sustainability, and long-term income resilience.
This session will unpack the key trends and regulatory settings shaping residential investment - including planning and zoning changes, housing policy initiatives, structuring options, and lender expectations - and what they mean for offshore investors, particularly from Japan. Through practical case studies and on-the-ground insights, speakers will highlight how Japanese capital is already partnering with Australian developers, fund managers and advisers across the full residential spectrum, and where the next wave of opportunities is likely to emerge.
This is a must-attend event for Japanese institutional investors, financiers, developers and advisors looking to access or expand their presence in Australia’s real asset markets.

The ANZCCJ Sustainability Committee in collaboration with Baker & McKenzie invites you to an exclusive in-person event on Wednesday, 26 November 2025.

It will explore how these resources are central to strengthening Australia–Japan cooperation, particularly in addressing supply chain challenges.
