| Function: Employer (Peak Body) | ||||
| The National Farmers' Federation [NFF] was formed in 1979 and is the peak primary producer organisation in Australia. A federation of independent farmer funded state and industry organisations, it is composed of national commodity councils, State member organisations and associate members covering major rural organisations. Delegates from each state and territory represent primary producers on the commodity councils of their respective industry. These delegates form the NFF Council. The development of policy and strategies is handled by a number of committees made up of producer members. Committees forming the NFF Executive are: Economic Committee; Farm Inputs Committee; Transport Committee; Industrial Committee; Livestock Industries Committee; Trade Committee; Conservation Committee; Aboriginal Affairs Committee and the Research Committee. The NFF Council works through an Executive Committee which implements policy via a professionally employed secretariat based in Canberra. The Secretariat is composed of an Executive Director, divisions of Policy, Finance, Marketing and Corporate Affairs, Research, Transport and Industrial Relations in addition to a number of ancillary and support staff. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
