In light of the recent announcement by the Federal Government regarding the Inquiry into Food and Beverage Manufacturing in Australia, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment. This inquiry, set to explore a broad spectrum of opportunities for innovation and value-adding in our industry, marks a first for the spirits sector, reflecting our significant growth and the potential for an export boom reminiscent of Australia's wine success.

To ensure we are fully prepared to contribute and benefit from this inquiry, we are inviting you to an online meeting with QDA Members. This session aims to bring our QDA branch together to listen, learn, and discuss how you shall be supported in the next steps for submission from all.

Your insights and involvement are crucial. Together, we have the opportunity to enhance our manufacturing capabilities, grow our exports, and create more jobs, particularly in regional areas. As we embark on this journey, it's essential that we leverage our collective expertise for advocacy.
