MEAT & Livestock Australia is calling for nominations from eligible producer members to fill three positions on the MLA selection committee at the 2026 annual general meeting on November 24 in Townsville, Queensland.

MLA said the selection committee plays an important role in MLA’s governance framework, with responsibility for identifying and recommending suitably qualified candidates for election to the MLA board.

Eligible individual producer members may nominate themselves for election to the Selection Committee. Body corporate producer members may nominate a representative to stand for election.

Candidates may nominate for one producer class – cattle producers, sheep producers and lotfeeders.

MLA’s selection committee comprises producer representatives elected by MLA members, together with industry-appointed members and current MLA Board representatives. The committee supports MLA’s skills-based governance model by overseeing the selection process for prospective MLA directors.

Nominations for the selection committee are now open and will close on Monday, 31 August 2026.

Producer members wishing to nominate must complete the official nomination form and submit it to MLA by the closing date.

Completed forms can be returned via email to [email protected] or by mail to Attn: Company Secretary, PO Box 1961, North Sydney NSW 2059.

The nomination form and information about the election process are available on the MLA website:
