Strategy & Performance

Dairy Australia's activities are guided by our Strategic Plan and Annual Operating Plan. Our Performance Report provides detailed information on the organisation's range of initiatives and investments on behalf of levy payers.

Our Stakeholders

Dairy Australia's Stakeholder Consultation Plan outlines our commitment to consult with all key stakeholders to advance the interests and sustainability of the Australian dairy industry and maximise the value of the dairy levy. Dairy Australia is committed to having open, accountable and responsive decision-making, informed by effective communication and consultation between Dairy Australia, dairy farmers, the Australian Government and industry stakeholders.

Our engagement with industry stakeholders around these investments is informed by the Best Practice Guide to Stakeholder Consultation guide provided by the Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment. 

Our strategy

Dairy Australia’s Strategic Plan is for the five-year planning period 2020–2025. This plan aligns with the industry strategy being created under the Australian Dairy Plan.

Our operating plan

Dairy Australia’s Annual Operating Plan for the financial year shows that Dairy Australia is responding to a challenging environment for the dairy industry. The AOP is the result of extensive consultation and feedback from farmers, government and representative bodies.
