Since 2015, Fonterra and Monash University have partnered to provide industry placement opportunities for third-year nutrition science students, providing valuable, hands-on experience in the Australian dairy and food industry.

We’ve always known that there is a lot of untapped potential in dairy. It’s packed full of nutrition and provides a number of health benefits, including keeping our bones strong as we age – and now it’s official.

Last year was a difficult time. Australians were still recovering from the devastating bushfires when COVID-19 took hold.

While working from home has eliminated our commute and enabled us to spend more time with our families, for many of us it has been less than ideal for our waistlines.

When we combine 11 years, 2.5 million kilos of dairy food and our Co-operative spirit – we can help combat hunger in Australia and reduce food waste.

When most people think about dairy, their first thought may be that it is a source of calcium, and that it’s good for strong bones.

Our Proud to Be a Chef program is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and culinary apprentices from all over Australia will once again have the chance to participate in a life-changing experience.
