Grain Producers SA (GPSA) is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from South Australian grain producers to join its Policy Committee, helping to shape advocacy and policy priorities for the State’s grain industry.

The Policy Committee will become a vital part of GPSA’s governance structure, providing a mechanism for further grower feedback and considered advice on a range of industry, regulatory,
and policy matters. The advice from the Committee will help inform the deliberations of the GPSA Board.

GPSA Chief Executive Officer Brad Perry said formation of a Policy Committee means that GPSA’s policy development remains grounded in the experiences and aspirations of growers.

“The Policy Committee ensures that GPSA’s advocacy remains grower-led, relevant, and reflective of the real challenges and opportunities facing our industry,” Mr Perry said.

“It provides an important mechanism for more growers to contribute to discussions on the issues that matter most.”

Mr Perry encouraged grain producers from across South Australia’s growing regions to apply.

“The GPSA Policy Committee is a unique opportunity for grain producers to play a leadership role in helping to shape the direction of our industry,” he said.

“It is about grain producers stepping forward to provide insights, guide advocacy, and help influence the major policy decisions that affect all grain producers across South Australia. I strongly encourage anyone passionate about the future of our sector to apply.”

GPSA is seeking up to eight active members to serve an initial three-year term on the Policy Committee. Sitting fees and travel expenses will be provided. Committee members are expected to
participate in a minimum of three meetings each year, offering feedback that is critical to GPSA’s engagement with industry, government and other key stakeholders.

EOIs close at 5pm on Monday, 2 June 2025.
