Who We Are
Dairy Australia is here to improve profitability by increasing herd and feed productivity and making every dollar count, while remaining focused on sustainable practices that farmers do every day.
This will deliver a proud and successful industry that celebrates dairy, attracts great people and strengthens communities.
Our services
We deliver value to dairy farm businesses and the industry through a range of services. Discover more about what we do.
Regional focus
Dairy Australia’s regional teams are part of dairy communities in Gippsland, Murray, New South Wales, South Australia, Subtropical, Tasmania, Western Australia and Western Victoria. Our regional teams have expertise in working with local dairy farm businesses to understand their needs, delivering services to meet these needs and driving local industry activities.
Dairy Australia works with Regional Development Programs (RDPs), comprising members from local dairy farm businesses and industry, to ensure our services are focused on industry priorities.
National approach
Regions are supported by a national team of specialists across strategy, research, development, sustainability, policy support, international trade, marketing and communications.
Dairy Australia’s Board governs strategy, investment and performance of the organisation to meet the needs of dairy farm businesses and industry.
Funding
We are funded by levies paid by dairy farm businesses and matching payments received from the Commonwealth Government for eligible research and development activities. Our core funding also allows us to attract additional external funding for key programs of work.
