South-West Victoria: Australia’s dairy heartland

When it comes to dairy, South-West Victoria is leading the charge:
🥛 23% of Australia’s milk production
🐄 22% of the national dairy herd
👨‍🌾 2900 on-farm jobs
🏭 3600 processing jobs

That’s thousands of livelihoods, millions of litres of milk, and a region powering both our fridges and our economy.

This Dairy Month, let’s reflect on the scale, strength and spirit of our dairy industry, and the incredible people behind it.
