How We Work

The Chicken Meat Commodity Policy Council is a member elected council that is the driving force behind policy development and the direction of the Chicken Meat Group. All council positions are currently vacant and elections upcoming.

Chicken Care Program

Chicken Care is an Industry Quality Assurance program which includes an emphasis on the welfare of the birds and the adoption of profitable and sustainable farm practices.

Since the program began there has been an 89% reduction in environmental complaints in Victoria related to Chicken Meat farms, which is a fantastic outcome for farmers and their neighbours.
