Strengthening biosecurity workforce capability and access to expertise
Tender ID: 614240
Tender Details
Tender Description
The Australian red meat industry (encompassing cattle, sheep and goat) generated $77.1 billion in turnover and $14.3 billion in exports in 2023-2024, supporting over 460,000 jobs nationwide (Meat & Livestock Australia 2025). The industry’s success is built on a well-integrated and effective biosecurity system. Understanding the evolving biosecurity challenges that the red meat industry faces, and the gaps and needs that must be addressed, is critical to informing strategic research, development, and adoption (RD&A) investment.
MLA is calling for applications for MDC-funded projects that include the design, implementation and evaluation of initiatives that improve biosecurity expertise retention, succession and accessibility across the red meat sector.
Applications should meet the requirements specified in the Terms of Reference and include a completed preliminary application form available on the project application guidelines and forms website.
Applications must be received by MLA before 11.59pm AEDT on 22 June 2026. Use the preliminary proposal template to submit proposals electronically to MLA at: projectcall@mla.com.au and cc sdundon@mla.com.au.
