Strategic Insights for Navigating the Australian Market: FY25–26 Guidebook

Australia remains a premier destination for international investors seeking to diversify their global portfolios. This resilience is underpinned by a stable fiscal environment, an expanding domestic market, and a demonstrated capacity to adapt to shifting global economic tailwinds.Post-pandemic, the Australian economy has exhibited a robust recovery, driven by an open and flexible market structure. Looking ahead, the trajectory remains positive, with projected growth in consumption, investment, and exports, alongside a strengthening labour market.However, the complexity of the Australian regulatory landscape necessitates a systematic approach. Successful market entry and ongoing operations require precise execution across several critical pillars:- Corporate Governance: Selection of optimal business and investment structures.- Employment & Industrial Relations: Navigating complex labour management and human resources frameworks.- Taxation & Compliance: Ensuring adherence to evolving fiscal policies and regulatory requirements.To support our clients in managing these complexities, H & H Lawyers has released the Doing Business in Australia Guidebook (FY25–26). Updated with the latest legislative developments and real-world practice insights, this guide serves as a strategic resource for both new entrants and established operators.We invite you to utilise this guide as a foundational reference.

H & H Lawyers Hosts Vietnam Electricity Delegation to Discuss ESG and Australia’s Net Zero Framework

In December 2025, we had the privilege of hosting a delegation of senior lawyers fromVietnam Electricity (EVN) and its subsidiaries. The visit provided an important opportunity to discuss the changing landscape of inbound investment into Australia, particularly as ESG frameworks increasingly shape global capital decisions.Our James Jung, Dr Paul Govind and Kenneth Hong led focused discussions on the legal and regulatory requirements for international entrants in Australia's "Net Zero" era. While energy remains central to the Australia–Vietnam relationship, our dialogue expanded to the practical realities of operating in a market driven by mandatory climate disclosures and ambitious decarbonisation policy.Key themes included:- ESG as a Gateway: How Australia's emerging ESG and climate-reporting regime is influencing opportunities for international state-owned enterprises.- Japan & Korea Insights: Lessons from the transition of Japanese and Korean investors from traditional gas projects toward green hydrogen and large-scale renewables.- Inbound Pathways: The legal frameworks and governance structures required to navigate Australian infrastructure and energy projects.Australia's role in the regional energy transition continues to mature, and we remain committed to supporting organisations like EVN as they pursue strategic opportunities aligned with Australia's high ESG standards.We thank the EVN delegation for a productive exchange and look forward to continuing these important conversations.
