eastAUSmilk welcomes the announcement by the Albanese and Minns Governments to support NSW dairy farmers with Category D funding

"This support is a very welcome contribution to help our dairy farmers get back on their feet after the disastrous flood event.

"These severe climate events have a severe and long-lasting impact on our herd health, milk production and pastures critical to produce high quality milk for Australians.

"Our dairy farm families experience the strain of this impact on their prized herd, their homes and livelihoods.

"The announcement of Cat D provides support of $75,000 to the most affected businesses and is well short of the actual impact - but it is appreciated.

"eastAUSmilk will continue to work with the NSW and Federal governments to improve resilience to withstand future events and on processes to deliver support in a more-timely way.

"We particularly thank Ministers Janelle Saffin and Tara Moriarty for taking the time to understand our industry and our needs.
