Thanks to all of those apprentices who have competed in SA and QLD competitions to date. Stay tuned via socials and our member communications for results.  Other state applications are still being accepted with details shown below.


Applications are now being accepted for 2024 State competitions

The competition day offers networking, personal and professional growth development along with the challenge for apprentices of all ages to pit their skills against the best in the industry. The days are a great opportunity to meet peers, and learn, gain practical tips from leaders in the meat industry.

Apprentices are required to sit a theory exam, a practical exam and participate in a mystery box practical challenge, where the apprentices will be required to create value added products from a selection of mystery ingredients.
