The government has announced a transition package of $139.7 million for the phase out of live sheep exports by sea.
The package includes $45.5 million for programs to be co-designed with industry to assist sheep producers and the associated supply chain prepare for the phase out.
Co-design is a way of problem-solving challenges by involving a wide range of people in creating solutions – especially those most affected by the outcome.
The process will bring together people with personal experience of (or connection to) the issue from across the supply chain, along with others who can contribute valuable insights and relevant expertise.
By seeking this diversity of stories, views, ideas and advice, the programs developed will be directly connected to the needs and priorities of businesses, communities and people.
