CHOGM Partners

Bringing together one-third of the world's leaders for CHOGM is a rewarding yet very complex task.

The Commonwealth Secretariat has a central role and works closely with the Australian Government and the Government's CHOGM 2002 Task Force to ensure that the summit is appropriately resourced.

The Australian Government is grateful for the significant support of the State Government of Queensland and the Maroochydore Shire Council (Sunshine Coast).

CHOGM 2002 delegates, media representatives and support staff all benefit from a range of services which have been contracted to deliver necessary services. These include:

Adagold - lease of two F100 aircraft to transport heads and delegates from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast Airport

AAPT - provision of a state-of-the-art communications network

Avis - provision of a wide range of vehicles to transport heads, delegates, media and support staff. Avis has developed a special CHOGM vehicle rate.

Symantec - the world leader in Internet security technology, provides client, gateway and server security solutions for virus protection, firewall and virtual private network, vulnerability management, intrusion detection, Internet content and e-mail filtering, remote management technologies and security services.
