Summary
This Company Managed Activity (CMA) is to fund non-contract invoices for the MLA Animal Wellbeing Program during FY24. This includes external reviews on an as needs basis, printing and formatting of MLA Wellbeing publications, meeting expenses for consultation with researchers, working groups, and travel expenses for animal wellbeing project management. Funds to support communications and resources to support extension and adoption are essential. The program this coming financial year has some residual projects that will be completed that don’t have funds included in their project budget to extend and adopt. There is an opportunity to communicate and extend these project outcomes to producers and Australian red meat consumers more broadly.
