Adelaide Business Etiquette

Business Etiquette

In keeping with a reputation as the more conservative of Australian capitals, business practice in Adelaide is no exception. Business suits are worn by both men and women, and most colleagues greet each other with a handshake; business cards are exchanged between new colleagues. Most businesses and government departments require appointments to be prearranged. Business hours are from 0900 to 1700 Monday to Friday.

Whilst Australia doesn't have a gift-giving culture, it is standard practice to provide a bottle of wine or a small dessert offering such as chocolate if invited to someone's home.
