North Australia Beef Research Council
The North Australia Beef Research Council (NABRC) is an independent organisation that bridges northern beef producers with the research community. NABRC unites producer representatives, research organisations, education providers, and state farming organisations to ensure research and development efforts address real-world industry challenges.
NABRC ensures innovation and learning in the northern beef industry remain relevant and producer-focused across Queensland, the Northern Territory, and the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia. The organisation operates as a coordination body, gathering stakeholder feedback to influence research, development and extension (RD&E).
