Sheepmeat Council of Australia Sheepmeat Council of Australia ( SCA ) was formed in 1979 and is the peak national body representing and promoting the national and international interests of Australian lamb and sheepmeat producers .
SCA ’ s key role is scrutinising the performance of and setting the strategic imperatives to be pursued by the levy funded bodies , Meat & Livestock Australia ( MLA ), Animal Health Australia and the National Residue Survey . Our aim is to ensure the best investment of the levy funds , and that producers are receiving the benefits at the farm gate .
SCA also develops national policy on issues affecting sheep producers and lobbies the Federal Government to achieve better outcomes for producers .
For 2014 / 15 SCA ’ s market access reform focus , on behalf of our members , will be to ensure that sheepmeat is a recipient of advantageous outcomes from the suite of free trade agreements ( FTAs ) currently under negotiation including the :
• Australia-China FTA ;
• Australia-Gulf Co-operation Council FTA ;
• Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations ;
• Australia-India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement ;
