Dairy Australia is seeking nominations for four board directors for elections to be held at its November annual general meeting (AGM).
Two of the four vacant positions are for farmers with milk producer skills, one is for a director with agribusiness, innovation and adoption skills, and one for a director with dairy supply chain and product promotion skills.
This year the terms of four directors expire at the 2023 AGM.
The three-year terms of three directors - Tania Luckin, Paul Roderick and Roseanne Healy - expire.
Mr Roderick and Ms Healy will be applying to nominate for re-election, while Ms Luckin will not.
The term of Paul van Heerwaarden, who was appointed to fill a casual vacancy in December 2022, also expires at the AGM.
Mr van Heerwaarden will be applying to nominate for re-election.
