Barley Australia works closely with the four regional barley advisory councils/committees around Australia to provide support.

These groups were independantly established to provide a local and regional meeting place for the various stakeholders- breeders, agronomists, seed companies, growers, maltsters, marketers, grain handlers and brewers – at which any industry relevant topics can be presented and discussed.

These groups remain separate and independent entities from Barley Australia, but work in close alignment.

The four committees

  • Grain Industry of Western Australia (GIWA) Barley Council –   GIWA-BC                                                                                                                 http://www.giwa.org.au/barley-council

  • Northern Region Barley Advisory Committee – NRBAC

  • South Eastern Australia Barley Advisory Council – SEABAC

  • South Australian Barley Advisory Committee – SABAC

These Councils and Committees generally meet twice a year in their region to discuss and review  barley matters of interest for the region and for the industry.

Attendance at these meeting is encouraged and new members are welcomed.
