There may be opportunities for Australian businesses to tender for work overseas, with the help of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). FTAs provide Australian businesses with better market access, faster economic growth and stronger employment growth.

The Australian Government has negotiated four FTAs. They are the:

• Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA)
• Thailand-Australia Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA)
• Singapore-Australia Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA)
• Australia-New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement (ANZCERTA).
  

For all your information needs when expanding your business to these FTA countries, visit the Austrade website. Austrade provides information on Australia's FTAs and on key government services and guides to help your business develop in these overseas markets.
