Two of the four vacant positions are for farmers with milk producer skills, one is for a director with agribusiness, innovation and adoption skills, and another for a director with dairy supply chain and product promotion skills.
Farmers and those with the relevant skills and experience are encouraged to stand for one of the board director positions and to play a role in the governance and strategic direction of Dairy Australia.
Dairy Australia aims to provide services that benefit and advance dairy farm businesses and the industry.
These services deliver value by enhancing farm business management, supporting employment and people development, driving herd and feed innovation, managing climate and environment, promoting Australian dairy and the commitment to sustainability, supporting international dairy markets, contributing to policy development, and responding to critical issues and events.
