Tenders

Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and the Goat Industry Research, Development and Adoption Committee (GIRDAC) are calling for full applications from prospective service providers to design, develop and deliver a goat-specific transport education package targeted at key stakeholders across the transport supply chain (e.g. producers, transporters, agents, saleyard/depot operators, buyers, processors etc.).

The successful project will be funded via the goat levy or hybrid (goat levies and MLA Donor Company) funding streams. For projects to be funded, they must be recommended for funding by GIRDAC prior to progressing through the MLA governance process. Find more information on the goat levy funding system here.

The aim of this investment call is to fund investments that will develop improved grasses, legumes, plant-microbe symbioses and management packages for a range of pasture systems across southern Australian grazing systems. Activities to improve plant-microbe symbioses, seed collections and seed technology are also within scope for certain components of the investment call. 

Specifically, these projects are to be conducted in regions represented by the Southern Australia Livestock Research Council (SALRC), i.e. NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, SA, and the ACT. 

Activities are also encouraged to encompass southern WA for species that are relevant to both SALRC and Western Australia Livestock Research Council (WALRC) regions. 

This tender is a re-release of a previous investment call, with a modified MLA Donor Company investment ratio of 50/50 now allowed.
