Our visit formed part of SPA’s ongoing international engagement - ensuring Australian sheep producers are well-represented in global conversations which shape our trading environment and long-term competitiveness.

Sheep Producers Australia’s Policy Director Corinne Dooley, recently presented to the South Australian Livestock Research Council (SALRC) about the organisation’s key policy priorities, including market access, climate and environment, animal welfare, product integrity, biosecurity and the red meat transaction levy review.

Sheep Producers Australia welcomes the ABS move to update the national sheep flock estimates through until FY2024. Accurate, timely data is critical for benchmarking, profitability and informed decision-making, and this is something Sheep Producers Australia has advocated for on behalf of producers.  This move by ABS helps address the information gap created by the disontinuation of the ABS Agricultural Commodities Survey. Based on the information released by ABS on December

As the year comes to an end, I’d like to thank sheep producers and industry partners across Australia for the effort, resilience and engagement you’ve shown throughout 2025.
