Supporting the growth of Queensland’s Livestock Export Industry
Purpose
Queensland Livestock Exporters Association is an organisation committed to representing all stakeholders involved in the live export of livestock by sea and air freight globally from Queensland.
As a state chapter of Australian Livestock Exporter’s Council (ALEC), we act as a feeder of information to and from stakeholders within the industry. We welcome member participation input and aim to share Industry information throughout.
At QLEA, our members are stakeholders in varying sectors of the livestock industry supply chain ranging from livestock producers, agents, transport carriers to exporters.
QLEA is endeavouring to be far more proactive within the industry, concentrating on state issues, and has a committee with a wealth of experience in the industry from exporters, importers, agents, producers, yard operators and other stakeholders.
“ People involved in the live export supply chain are passionate about what they do ”

A healthy and strong Live export market has a significant impact on all livestock markets right across Australia and is to the benefit of many people, directly and indirectly involved in the Live Export Industry.
If your business benefits from the Live Export Industry then you are one of the people that we want to become involved as a member and support our endeavours to the benefit of all across the industry.
