Call for Sheep Sustainability Framework chair

Expressions of interest are being sought for the role of Sheep Sustainability Framework Steering Group chair.

The SSF was initiated by Australia’s sheep industry leaders — Sheep Producers Australia and WoolProducers Australia, with secretariat and support services provided by Meat & Livestock Australia and Australian Wool Innovation — to demonstrate sustainable practices, identify areas for improvement, and better communicate with customers and consumers.

The SSF measures and tracks industry performance against key priorities to present evidence that Australian sheepmeat and wool have been produced responsibly to build trust and confidence in the industry.

The SSF also helps industry better understand its opportunities, challenges and impacts in key areas such as animal care, the environment, economic resilience, and people and community.

The estimated time commitment is 16 hours a month and the role is for two years. ▯ For more details and to register an expression of interest, email Sarah Hyland at shyland@mla.com.au by Friday, October 1.
