About Us

At Goulburn Valley Creamery, we place quality at the heart of everything we do.

As a proudly Australian dairy manufacturer, our pasture-based milk is from premium dairy farms in Australia. We partner with leading regional farmers to grow dairy quality you can taste.

Our new dedicated processing facility at Kyabram, 200km north of Melbourne in the heart of Victoria’s dairy region, uses the latest in processing technology to deliver tasty, quality dairy products made in accordance with the most stringent food safety standards. It processes 250,000 litres every day.

Quality milk begins with caring for our cows. We employ professionals at our farms to develop improved animal nutrition and welfare practices. At our labs we drive innovation to deliver products that offer improved shelf-life and longer-lasting freshness.

Embedded in the region, we are committed to the thriving Kyabram and surrounding Goulburn Valley communities.

With many of our 80-strong team and all our farmer partners from the region, we are proud to support local groups and organisations, working partnership to build common value.

Our local teams work in partnership with farmer suppliers, for easy and direct communication at all levels of our business.

Assuring the highest quality dairy throughout the production value chain, our operations and products comply with international standards and are fully accredited. Our wide range of milk products are exported around the world, with conventional and organic choices.

From the Goulburn Valley to our customers’ doorsteps, we export the premium Australian dairy around the world.
