Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) is the national advocacy body representing dairy farmers across the six dairying states. Our mission is to improve the profitability and sustainability of dairy farmers in Australia. ADF was originally formed as the Australian Dairy Farmers Federation (ADFF) in 1942 by Victorian dairy farmer George Capstick Howey, as an unincorporated association to represent the national interests of dairy farmers. In 1993, ADFF was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee and the organisation’s name was changed to Australian Dairy Farmers Ltd.
The Australian Dairy Herd Improvement Scheme (ADHIS) works as a subsidiary of ADF, developing programs that drive new science and focus on the future of the national dairy herd. Formed in 1982 as an ADF initiative, the ADHIS specialise in improving Australian Breeding Values through genomics and delivering programs, such as the recently launched National Breeding Objective.
