Australian Companies

Press Monitor supports Australian businesses operating in or expanding into Canada by providing real-time, bilingual media intelligence tailored to Canada’s unique federal and linguistic structure. From trade and energy to education, agri-tech, and professional services, we help Australian companies stay informed, compliant, and competitive in a complex media landscape.

Why Canada Matters to Australian Businesses

Canada is a strategic partner and growing market for Australian exports, investments, and collaborations. The two nations share membership in key trade frameworks like the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and have active bilateral cooperation across sectors.

Canada is Australia’s 11th-largest trading partner

Over $5 billion AUD in two-way trade
in goods and services annually

Shared values in sustainability, innovation, education, and governance

Despite this synergy, Canadian media and policy developments unfold across two official languages , ten provinces , and numerous local regulatory regimes , requiring targeted and multilingual monitoring.
