Vision / Mission

Dairy NSW is one of eight Dairy Australia (DA) Regional Development Programs (RDPs) that operate in the nation’s key dairying areas. Dairy NSW, operating since 1996, develops strategic direction for the southern, central and south to mid coast areas of NSW relating to dairy research, development and extension (RD&E) programs. The organisation invests in a range of projects that align to its key priorities. Dairy NSW actively seeks investment partners and funding opportunities to assist in the delivery of dairy based RD&E programs. Dairy NSW monitors the success of these projects and their ability to make tangible industry returns on investment.

Dairy NSW works closely with farm policy organisations, government agencies, milk processors, other RDPs and the dairy service industry to identify and develop priorities for the development and sustainability of the state’s dairy industry.

Dairy NSW is governed by an industry-based board with no less than four farmer representatives. Government, processors and business are also represented with all members having a strong understanding of the industry and a passion for dairy development and sustainability in the state.
