Australia's peak alternative dispute resolution (ADR) bodies have agreed to work together to promote arbitration in the Asia-Pacific region.
The news follows the recent introduction by the Federal Government of amendments to the International Arbitration Act 1974 which are designed to make Australia a more attractive and competitive destination for international arbitration.
ACICA president Doug Jones said that the agreement signalled the two bodies' intention to promote Australia's international arbitration expertise. "It is a national approach to a global opportunity that is in the national interest," he said.
IAMA president Michael Kirby predicted that international commercial arbitration could eventually be as lucrative as international education - currently Australia's third-largest export market.
