Woolproducers Australia Ltd

WoolProducers Australia (WPA) is the national peak industry body representing farmers whose primary business is growing wool. We are the national voice on behalf of producers. WPA is the only national organisation that can speak on behalf of the mainstream wool industry and represent the concerns and hopes of wool growers. WPA is led by a National Executive made up of wool growers from around Australia. Each state farmer organisation member is represented on the executive, while another three members are directly elected by growers Australia-wide. State Farming Organisation Members: • AgForce Queensland • NSW Farmers’ Association • Victorian Farmers Federation • Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association • Livestock SA • Western Australian Farmers Federation This executive structure sets WPA apart from other grower groups and gives it the mantle of the true democratic voice of the Australian wool industry. As the only wool grower organisation with membership of the National Farmers’ Federation, WPA is responsible for providing key policy advice on behalf of our members to Australia’s peak farm body. The policy contribution to the National Farmers Federation includes environmental laws and regulations, climate change, water, industrial relations, taxation, international trade issues, economics and training. WPA is the sole wool industry member of Animal Health Australia, and as such, carries a significant responsibility for decision making on behalf of the industry in the event of an emergency animal disease outbreak.
