Summary of full report
by Chris Tuckwell
July 2001
RIRDC Publication No 01/94
RIRDC Project No DIP-3A
(Part B)
Industry leaders continually encourage domestic and international users of the Industry’s products and services to, where possible, preferentially purchase from suppliers who are accredited by the industry Quality Assurance program and use the industry accreditation marks to demonstrate their commitment to quality
The Australian Deer Industry QA program is one of the projects that are designed and planned to help guarantee market access for your products. Increasingly international and domestic markets for all manner of products and services expect suppliers to take full responsibility for the goods or services they supply
While Quality Assurance may not necessarily guarantee a premium price for products, but it may well guarantee market access for product
This project has helped ensure the credibility and acceptability, by the marketplace, of the Australian Deer Industry QA program, as a reasonable guarantee of food safety and commitment to animal welfare
All Australian Deer industry members are encouraged to adopt the industry QA program and in turn help guarantee markets access for those sectors of industry concerned with marketing their products that in turn will help guarantee the industry’s sustainable and profitable future
