Southern Australian Meat Research Council

Welcome to the webpage for the Southern Australian Meat Research Council, located at 96 Harbours Road, Yendon. As an establishment and point of interest, we are proud to be a part of the Southern Australia Livestock Research Council (SALRC), providing recommendations on research and development (R&D) and extension and adoption (E&A) initiatives and investments in the Australian red meat and livestock industries for south-eastern Australia.

The SALRC is an independent Incorporated Association comprised of producer representatives from across NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia, as well as research organizations and education providers from those states. Our main role is to influence the RD&A agenda, ensuring that innovation and learning in the south-eastern red meat and livestock industries address industry priority issues.

At the Southern Australian Meat Research Council, we are committed to providing regional direction for investment in Research, Development, and Adoption to future-proof the reputation and profitability of the Southern Australian red meat and livestock industries.

We are thrilled to announce our young scholarship program, aimed at young researcher and extension professionals within SALRC's 19 investor member organizations. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to win a $750 scholarship to attend and present their research and extension activities.

Recently, our South-east Victorian and Tasmanian Regional Committee gathered in north-west Tasmania to explore all things beef and undergo Working in Groups training. This training package, rolled out by SALRC across our seven regional committees, ensures that our committees are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to contribute effectively to the industry.

Additionally, nominations are now open for the Awards for Excellence in the Southern Australian Livestock Industries. These prestigious annual awards, presented by SALRC, recognize outstanding contributions to the industry. As an independent, incorporated, not-for-profit organization, we are dedicated to supporting and promoting excellence in the southern Australia livestock industries.

Thank you for visiting our webpage. We invite you to explore further and learn more about the Southern Australian Meat Research Council and our commitment to the advancement of the red meat and livestock industries in south-eastern Australia.
