Regional Development Programs

Regional offices (known as Regional Development Programs, or RDPs) were set up in the 1990s to cater for the varying requirements of Australia’s 8 dairy regions. While RDPs receive funding from Dairy Australia, they are independent entities who generate other income streams, and act on what’s best for their region.
