Healthy communities

Dairy is the backbone of many regional communities.

Close to 30,000 Australians are directly employed in the dairy sector, supporting regional economies, where one in four Australians live. A vibrant and profitable dairy industry helps keep our communities healthy through farm businesses, supporting businesses and dairy processors located in rural areas and by continuing to offer affordable and accessible sources of nutrition for many people.
