Industry planning & policy support

There is also a need for Dairy Australia to support representative organisations in developing policy responses to specific industry issues, ie the Murray Darling Basin Plan.

Project scope:

Dairy Australia has a comprehensive and transparent strategic planning process. Where requested it also coordinates analysis that used to develop/assess alternative industry level strategies and responses.

We also provide specific technical support and analysis to other industry organisations to ensure there is an coordinated response to industry level challenges, policy reviews and inquiries.

Timely identification of industry issues, and effective planning to address these issues, is crucial to the sustainability of the industry.
