Industry levies Dairy Services Dairy Australia is funded by farmerpaid levies that are imposed on the fat and protein content of all milk produced in Australia. The Australian Government matches expenditure on the industry’s research and development activities that meet established criteria. All Australian dairy farmers had the opportunity to participate, by mail, in the Dairy Poll 2007 conducted during February and March 2007. Compared to levy polls in other agricultural industries, a high participation rate of 53% was achieved. Some 68% of votes were cast in favour of maintaining the Dairy Service Levy at its current rate. Animal Health Australia Australian dairy farmers also contribute to the funding of Animal Health Australia (AHA), as do farmers in all other livestock industries. AHA is a non-profit public company limited by guarantee. Members include the Australian, state and territory governments, and key commodity and interest groups. AHA’s task is to facilitate partnerships between governments and livestock industries, and provide a national approach to animal health systems. The Animal Health Levy is the dairy industry’s contribution to AHA programs. Dairy Adjustment Authority As part of the Dairy Structural Adjustment Program (DSAP), the Dairy Adjustment Levy was imposed on domestic (retail) sales of products marketed as dairy beverages from 8 July 2000. The levy was removed by the Federal Government from 23 February 2009 after repayment of the loans taken out to fund the DSAP.
