This study tour is for northern WA pastoralists interested in practical research, on-ground application, and industry connection.
The tour brings producers together to:
- hear directly from researchers working in northern beef systems
- see how research is being applied on stations
- share experiences with other producers facing similar challenges
- take ideas home that are relevant to Pilbara, Gascoyne and Kimberley conditions
The program includes attendance at the Northern Beef Research Update Conference (NBRUC), visits to northern NT stations and research sites, and participation in the NT Cattlemen’s Association (NTCA) Annual Industry Conference.
Pilbara producers can apply for 6 x $4,000 producer scholarships funded by the Pilbara Innovation Partnership to contribute to costs associated with attendance. NOTE: Scholarship recipients WILL need to participate in a panel session at the NBRUC.
If you’re not successful in receiving a scholarship, we’d still encourage you to attend — we’d love to have you involved.
Scholarship EOI’s close: Thursday 29 January 2026
