Dairy Innovation Day

Dairy Innovation Day is WA's biggest annual gathering of dairy farmers and industry stakeholders, showcasing dairy and agricultural production ideas and innovations.

Since its inception in 2000, Dairy Innovation Day has showcased a range of dairy and agricultural innovations and ideas, including those of different farmer hosts, to thousands of delegates.

Upcoming event details

This year's Innovation Day is stepping sideways, rather than completely off-farm. Hosted at the beautiful venue of Melville Park, co-custodians David and Barbara have kindly opened their gates to the slice of history they consider themselves simply caretakers for.

The 2024 event program will focus on the theme of “Resilient Dairy Businesses”, with topics to reflect the changing world we’re currently farming in. Visit Eventbrite to register your attendance.

A Gala Dinner with guest speaker always follows this big day and remains our yearly celebration of such a fantastic industry. This year, we're pleased to invite our friends to the Bunbury Golf Club for a fantastic evening, kicking off with pre-dinner drinks at 6:30pm.

For farmers, Dairy Innovation Day 2024 is a chance to catch up with old friends, make new industry connections and take home tools that can optimise business productivity and profitability.
