We work closely with partners to foster and encourage profitable, resilient and sustainable Australian winegrape and wine businesses. Our partners include grapegrowers, wine producers, wine exporters and the Australian Government; national, state and regional representative organisations; research providers; state governments; wine industry suppliers; international regulators; the media and consumers.

The Australian Government is a contributor of research and innovation funding - matching dollar-for-dollar the levy investment from Australia's grapegrowers and wine producers. We also work closely with the Australian Government to enhance market opportunities and reduce barriers to trade.
