Trade Relationships

Dairy Australia builds lasting relationships with international partners, which supports Australia’s high-quality dairy being consumed by more worldwide.

Scholarship program

For over 20 years, our scholarship program allows relationships between Australia’s dairy industry and international partners to form and grow.

Each year we invite contacts from China, Japan and South East Asia to take part in the Dairy Australia Scholarship Program. Scholarship participants learn about Australian dairy farming practices, manufacturing and more. Of course, they even get to try the delicious dairy foods and beverages on offer.

The Dairy Australia Scholarship ranges between classroom-style lectures, practical workshops and visits to farm and processing facilities. 

Alumni network

At the end of the Dairy Australia Scholarship, delegates are welcomed into our alumni group. There are currently over 850 alumni who are now influential dairy industry representatives in their respective markets. We offer alumni tailored insights and learning opportunities, as well as social and networking opportunities each year.

Market access and trade policy

Dairy Australia supports international trade negotiations by coordinating the development and input of aligned industry positions and priorities, as well as providing technical input regarding the conditions of access to global markets under multilateral, regional and bilateral negotiations.
