Two (2) producer member vacancies will occur in July for a three-year term.

Producer Council members enjoy a close working relationship with the State’s agricultural research institutions and have regular opportunity to get detailed insights into the way in which red-meat industry research and extension is conducted.

• The positions become available following the completion of Lynley Anderson (Kojonup) and Matt Camarri (Nannup) terms.
• These are skills-based appointments, but where selected candidates will complement the skill set of existing WALRC members and will enable WALRC to maintain an appropriate balance of beef/sheep productions systems and geography among its council.
• A key consideration for applications is genuine and reliable availability for (mostly) virtual meetings and material reading/review.

If you think you will enjoy the opportunity to identify and help initiate the next wave of red-meat research and extension that will drive our industry forward,
then please consider this opportunity.
