Australian Dairy Plan

The Australian dairy environment is changing and with it bringing new challenges that will require farmers, processors and the community working together to overcome them.

Launched in September 2020, the Australian Dairy Plan aims to rally the industry by setting a clear vision and purpose for the next five years and beyond - and provide a blueprint for the industry to operate from, which delivers to a collective strategy.

The development of the Australian Dairy Plan is being led by Dairy Australia, Australian Dairy Farmers, Australian Dairy Products Federation and Gardiner Dairy Foundation, with John Brumby serving as Independent Chair.

Over 1,500 farmers, service providers, processors, retailers, investors and other key stakeholders participated in nationwide consultation from May through to July 2019. This provided an opportunity for participants across the entire dairy to have their say on what is needed to create a more profitable, confident and united industry:

• Profitable: Financially sustainable and profitable across the entire supply chain.
• Confident: A sense of optimism and confidence relating to future success is felt throughout the industry, including competing at a local and global level.
• United: The industry, right across the country, knows where to focus and where it needs to apply its collective efforts and voice to achieve this goal.
