About Cattle Australia

Representing the interests of all Australian cattle producers, Cattle Australia is the national peak body for the grass-fed cattle industry, providing a visible, unified, and influential voice for producers.

It will provide clear leadership and direction by developing and driving contemporary policy, guiding research, development, and adoption (RD&A) and marketing investment for the sector, and representing industry on all matters important to the Australian cattle industry.

To represent the interests of all Australian cattle producers, Cattle Australia is the democratic Peak Industry Body tasked with:

Uniting levy payers
Engaging with cattle producers and industry stakeholders
Representing industry on all matters important to the Australian cattle industry
