Regional consultation

An extensive, industry-wide consultation plan was carried out to shape the development of the new strategic priorities, with dedicated in-person and online workshops held for farmers and industry stakeholders across a range of locations.

To build a broader sense of farmer priorities in each region, data from additional sources, including farm engagement plans and consultation sessions with state dairy farming organisations, were consolidated and analysed.

Detailed information regarding the consultation process, alongside a summary of stakeholder insights, can be found in the Regional Consultation Playback report below.
