Webinar Program

From July 2021, the Dairy Australia Manufacturing Webinar Program is partnering with University of Melbourne Dairy Innovation Hub, to offer you an innovative program of topics and outstanding presenters.

Over the past nine years, Dairy Australia has presented over 270 webinars, all of which have been designed to upskill Australian dairy manufacturers.

The webinars, together with their downloadable PDF’s, offer an exciting way to enhance your knowledge from your workplace or home. Webinar recordings can also be viewed at a later date and be utilised to train work groups.

Dairy manufacturers receive this valuable training from Australian and international dairy experts, all professionals in their fields.
