Gippsland dairy farmers produce 2.1 billion litres or 23% of the national milk production. Dairying is spread across Gippsland, with the Baw Baw, Wellington and South Gippsland shires having very high numbers of dairy farms.
The Cows Create Careers project promotes career and education opportunities in the dairy industry across vocational and university pathways.
