Course Overview
Agriculture contributes approximately 50 billion dollars to Australia’s GDP each year with dairy farming contributing 7% of that figure and directly employing approximately 46,200 people each year.
Australia has 5,800 registered dairy farms scattered around various regions of Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia. While most of the milk production takes place in the south-east other animal products such as “cheese” is produced around Australia creating new employment across the nation.

This course is a great stepping stone for those either thinking about starting a career in agriculture or simply wanting to advance into a management role.
