Business
Red Meat 2030 partners are working on an Australian Red Meat and Livestock Industry Ongoing Pandemic Response to assist business continuity and minimize risk to staff or customers
To limit ongoing community transmission of COVID-19, all Red Meat 2030 partners have implemented cohesive staff policies consistent with current public health advice and social distancing
Availability of testing must increase significantly to expedite treatment and containment as well as eliminate unnecessary isolation and allow employees to return to the workforce
Red Meat 2030 partners will hold an industry roundtable on a weekly or as needed basis as more information on the COVID-19 public health response becomes available
Government
The Council of Australian Governments should take immediate measures to protect our businesses, including waiving fees and charges, deferring non-essential regulatory reviews, and implementing an immediate payroll tax holiday as part of a broader stimulus
The red meat and livestock industry are considering further economic and other initiatives that will specifically support our businesses
Customers
At this stage we will continue to meet the high demand for high quality and nutritious red meat in Australian and global markets
This will require coordination and support from all levels of government and customers
The health and safety of our employees and Australian and international customers is important and we ask all to practise the recommended social distancing and courteous behaviour at shopfronts to play your part in limiting transmission of COVID-19
