About the Chamber

Your Business | Your Community

Our mission is to empower, connect, and advocate for sustainable business growth across the Denmark region, by providing our member businesses with advocacy, networking, promotion, and business support.

Our Story

The Denmark Chamber of Commerce was officially incorporated in 1989. It was created to help retain public and private expenditure amongst local businesses, particularly in relation to the work of the Shire of Denmark.

To ensure the organisation was financially sustainable, the local Denmark Business and Community Directory was developed in 1992 and since 2019, the directory is also online.

The Denmark Chamber of Commerce vision and strategy is based on the premise that the economic growth of Denmark is best served by the growth of the small – medium enterprise sector seeking lifestyle choices and investing in innovative economic development that supports our natural and social environment.

In November 2021, DCC received a three year service and lease agreement with the Shire of Denmark to become the leader in local tourism. This saw the office moved to the Denmark Visitor Centre and exciting new future for the Discover Denmark brand.

We employ six part time staff, have over 20 active volunteers and currently have a membership base of 350 businesses (and growing) from around the district.

As a Chamber, we:


