Consumer Marketing



Dairy Australia delivers a range of consumer marketing initiatives that promote the health benefits of Australian dairy, the industry commitment to sustainability and the rewarding careers available on farm.

Dairy Matters

Dairy Matters marketing campaigns demonstrate the industry commitment to the environment, animals, people and the health and wellbeing of all Australians. The campaigns highlight the unique health benefits of milk, cheese and yogurt, and demonstrate the actions farmers and manufacturers are taking to produce dairy foods in a sustainable way. 

The dairy.com.au website is a credible source of information, educating the community about the dairy industry, its products and how they are produced. The ‘You Ask, We Answer’ section enables consumers to pose any question about dairy and have them answered by experts such as farmers, scientists, dietitians and vets.

To attract people to work on dairy farms, we deliver campaigns promoting the rewarding career opportunities. Information about working on farm and searching for job vacancies is available at dairyjobsmatter.com.au. Discover more about Dairy Matters and farm employment support below.

Farmer Ambassadors

Dairy farmers are a trusted voice among the community. Consumers, journalists and school students want to hear from farmers about their practices and experiences.

Farmers speaking positively and proudly on behalf of their industry reinforces the overall value of Australian dairy. Farmer ambassadors actively promote and represent the industry in schools, community events, marketing campaigns, media and social media.
