The Australian Intercollegiate Meat Judging (ICMJ) program is a national people development initiative, designed to increase participant knowledge, skills, networks and career opportunities within the Australian red meat and livestock industry.

Funded by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and the Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC) along with a number of industry sponsors, the program targets tertiary students, young industry professionals, coaches and alumni to build capability and strengthen workforce attraction and retention across the red meat supply chain. This report evaluates the outcomes of the program from 2021–22 to 2025–26 and provides evidence of participant engagement, capability development and long-term industry impact.
