25.01.2022 Update on Coronavirus (Covid-19). We recognise that these are unprecedented circumstances, and there are questions around how Covid-19 will impact you, your bus...iness and the wider industry. Dairy Australia is working to develop information specific to our industry that will assist employers and employees to understand their responsibilities around Covid-19. In the interim, we advise employers to follow the recommendation provided by the Federal Government: https://bit.ly/2Qpd6rM In line with recommendations of Government and health professionals, we are reducing face-to-face events, workshops and meetings.

21.01.2022 If you are involved in the Tasmanian organic dairy industry, I am keen to hear from you. The TIA dairy extension team is in the process of planning our five-year extension program.

14.01.2022 Conference Cancelled In the last few days the DairyTas Board and Staff have been carefully considering the impact of the COVID-19 virus on the upcoming 2020 Tasmanian Dairy Conference and Awards Dinner. Given the impact of travel restrictions on guest speakers, and the risk to attendees, the decision has been made to cancel the events. Due to the calibre of speakers, the support of sponsors and the quality of nominations received for the various awards, it is disappointing no...t to hold the event but believe it is the right decision to make. We are currently looking at the most effective way to issue refunds. In the coming weeks we will look at rescheduling the Awards dinner as a standalone event to recognise a number of exceptional businesses and individuals from across the industry. If you have any queries please contact the DairyTas office on (03) 6432 2233. Cancellation also includes associated events (Pre-Conference Tour and YDN Annual Dinner)
