Dairy Australia is the industry’s services provider; owned by the industry, limited by guarantee, whose members are farmers and industry bodies. It is governed by a Board of nine Directors. Its nationwide and international activities are directed from its Melbourne office. The Company invests approximately $30 million of dairy farmer levy payments and $15 million of taxpayer funds in projects and services for the benefit of the Australian dairy industry.
Dairy Australia is committed to helping the dairy industry to be collaborative, innovative, sustainable and competitive against both international dairy industries and substitute products. The Company undertakes industry level activities where a collective approach delivers more effective and valuable commercial outcomes than individual action. The collective approach also generates synergies for savings through cost economies and the effective capture and sharing of knowledge.
Dairy Australia’s operations ensure that the industry can anticipate and respond quickly to changing market circumstances. We deliver services that support the industry’s capacity as a major exporter and mainstay of regional communities in many parts of Australia.
Members determine Dairy Australia’s direction. All dairy service levy payers can become members of Dairy Australia. All members (dairy farmers and peak industry representative groups) can have a say about what Dairy Australia does, however only Group A members (dairy farmers) can vote on resolutions. All dairy farmers who pay the levy can become Group A members.
