I am pleased to be taking on the role of the Transition Advocate for the transition to the end of live sheep exports by sea by 1 May 2028.
Transparency, communication and engagement are important aspects of the transition process, and the role of Transition Advocate is crucial in acting as a conduit between industry and government.
I feel that I am well-positioned to make those connections and ensure that the interests of the sheep supply chain are heard.
I plan on listening to industry to make sure the activities in my workplan best reflect how I can assist the current sheep supply chain to transition to a future without live sheep exports by sea.
I plan to start by observing some of the co-design workshops in coming weeks.
I will be reporting regularly to government, providing updates of how the transition is going.
I’m looking forward to working closely with the sheep supply industry, the government and the department, to smooth the transition and navigate this together, for a vibrant and strong future.
