Membership of your advocacy body

The importance of any industry advocacy body is the breath of its membership. This is particularly so when you are discussing issues of policy with politicians and other stakeholders. To be able to represent a broad spectrum of the dairy industry from the southern border of NSW to the tip of Queensland is vitally important as it substantiates those policy matters that we wish to progress. The upcoming federal election and state elections to be held thereafter will provide a platform from which policy issues can be annunciated with those in government and opposition and those who have a way to influence policy outcomes.

Over the coming months, the members and district councils of eastAUSmilk will be called upon to provide support to not only influence outcomes in the political arena but also provide advice and guidance on issues of policy that need to be considered for further discussion. Your membership entitles you to be involved with those discussions. We encourage you to continue to support eastAUSmilk as we continue to grow and represent your views before government, opposition and other industry associations. 

We encourage you to assist non-members in becoming a member of the dairy industry body that best represents your views before those who make the decisions that impact upon your dairy farming enterprise. Information regarding membership can be obtained by contacting the eastAUSmilk office.
