🇧🇷As we prepare to mark 5 years of Brazil Week, we take a moment to look back at where it all began — and how far we’ve come.

In 2022, we launched Brazil Week in Brisbane with a vision: to create a platform that would bring Australia and Brazil closer through business, culture, and meaningful connections.

That first opening night remains unforgettable.

We were honoured to welcome our beloved Brazilian actor Nelson Freitas, who brought incredible energy to the stage, performing alongside Anje West and her band — pioneers of bossa nova in Queensland. It was a moment that beautifully symbolised the cultural bridge we set out to build.

We were also deeply honoured by the presence of the Governor of Queensland. At the time, everything felt big — and new. We were excited, proud… and yes, a little nervous.

But that’s how meaningful journeys begin.

Five years on, Brazil Week has grown into a national platform, connecting leaders, industries, and communities across Australia and Brazil.

And while we honour the past, we don’t live in it.

We carry it forward.

Because Brazil Week has always been about building — building relationships, building opportunities, and shaping the future of the Australia–Brazil connection.

As we celebrate this milestone, we look ahead with even greater ambition.

This is just the beginning.

We were delighted to bring together our ABCC members and special guests for an evening of connection and conversation with Gabrielle Hall, Australia’s incoming Consul-General and Trade & Investment Commissioner to São Paulo.

Among those in attendance were Jon Krause MP, Justin McGowan (CEO of TIQ), along with representatives from WEG, JBS, Minerva Foods, and Embraer, amongst others.

A sincere thank you to our hosts, Corrs Chambers Westgarth, for supporting this important moment for our community.

As ABCC continues to expand its presence in Brazil, including through our director based in São Paulo, Thomas Skinner, we are strengthening on-the-ground connections and creating new pathways for engagement across both markets.

If you would like to be part of this network and attend events like this, we warmly invite you to join us as a member.

Sydney next.

As Easter approaches, we are reminded of a quiet yet powerful message of renewal, hope, and new beginnings.

A moment to pause, reflect, and look ahead with purpose, even in times of challenge, there is always opportunity for growth.

Que esta Páscoa traga esperança, renovação e novos começos.

Wishing you a peaceful and uplifting Easter. 🌿✨✝️
