The National Mulesing Accreditation Program (NMAP) has recently been rolled out with the first accreditation courses to be run around the state soon, the Wool Committee and WoolProducers will continue to monitor and manage this issue to ensure what is delivered is what industry requires/desires.

The Wool Committee is continuing to fight the premature push towards Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) NLIS for sheep. The Committee feels there needs to be greater research into the technologies to be used and more evidence of the perceived benefits before the industry move towards RFID.
