About AVCAL
AVCAL represents and promotes the interests of the private equity and venture capital industries in Australia.
We work to ensure a favourable environment for growth in sustainable equity investment and entrepreneurship. We fulfill this purpose by:
- Creating a forum for our members
- Being a single voice with government, regulators and the public
- Providing high quality research, data and analysis
- Developing and conducting networking and training programs throughout Australia.
Our association is overseen by a Council of 14 industry participants from the private equity and venture capital industries. The Council is supported by a range of committees and working groups that provide input and guidance on specific issues.
The AVCAL secretariat is headed by the industry spokesperson/CEO and is headquartered in Sydney, NSW.
In addition to supporting and promoting the industry, AVCAL periodically selects and supports appropriate philanthropy partners in Australia by providing them a distribution mechanism for corporate awareness.
AVCAL is also working towards encouraging principles of responsible investment (economic, socially aware and environmental) to our members.
If you are looking for capital, please check our detailed information via the Looking for Capital link below or above. AVCAL is an industry association, we do not provide capital.
AVCAL is an associate member of the IGCC.
