Livestock Advisor Essentials

National livestock advisor professional development program

Livestock Advisor Essentials (LAE) is a professional development program designed for early career professionals involved in the livestock industry or advisors wishing to build their skills and expand their industry knowledge and networks.

Over five years, LAE will be delivered across different livestock production areas in Australia.  

Meat & Livestock Australia and Pinion Advisory have made the difficult decision to cancel the LAE program in Western Australia in 2024 due to not having reached the critical number of registrations to enable the program. Those who have purchased tickets will receive a full refund.

Registrations are now open for the southern Australia workshops in 2024. Please see further details below, including the link to register. Registrations to participate in the full southern program close 14 June 2024.
