WestVic Dairy is the dairy industry development body for Western Victoria and aims to help advance the dairy industry in the region

WestVic Dairy Inc. collects the priorities of the region's dairy farmers and allocates part of their service levy (collected by Dairy Australia) to those research and development priorities.  When the service levy is invested WestVic Dairy creates partnerships with other agencies and attracts other funds to make these priorities happen faster.  When the work is completed WestVic Dairy makes sure the findings are communicated to all dairy farmers to increase the profitability and sustainability of the region's dairy industry.

WestVic Dairy is located with DemoDAIRY, a research and demonstration farm, approx 5km out of Terang in south west Victoria on the Princes Highway.
