Australia’s dairy industry is proudly local, supporting regional communities, delivering nutritious food, and underpinning a vital part of our national food system.

As global trade evolves, including agreements like the Australia–EU FTA, one thing remains clear: the choices Australians make, at home and when eating out, matter more than ever.

When you choose Australian dairy, you’re backing:

• local farmers and manufacturers
• regional jobs and communities
• trusted, high-quality, nutritious products

Australia’s food security and sovereign capability

That’s why we’re calling for Australian Government
support for a national “Buy Australian Dairy” campaign.

It’s about making it easier for consumers to identify and choose local products and ensuring Australian dairy continues to thrive in an increasingly competitive global market.

And it doesn’t stop at the supermarket shelf. Whether it’s milk in your coffee, cheese on your pizza, or butter in your meal, food service plays a critical role.

Cafés, restaurants and chefs have a powerful opportunity to support local by choosing Australian dairy.

Building a “Buy Australian Dairy” mindset across retail and food service will help strengthen demand, support local producers, and keep value in regional communities.

Because when Australians choose Australian dairy, it’s not just good for the industry, it’s good for Australia.
