peak national organisation representing the interests of the world’s
leading manufacturers and importers of distilled spirits in Australia.
Founded in 1981, DSICA’s major goals
are to:

provide strong representation

ensure our members
are able to responsibly conduct their businesses free from unwarranted
interference, in a fair and competitive market place; |
|
•
|
create informed political
and social environments that recognise the benefits of moderate alcohol
consumption and provide opportunities for balanced community discussion
on alcohol issues; and |
|
•
|
ensure public alcohol
policies are soundly and objectively formed, that they include industry
input, are based on the latest relevant national and international
research, and do not disadvantage the spirits industry. |

lobbying governments
at all levels to inform decision-making and to protect the interests
of our members and the integrity, growth and profitability of the
distilled spirits and liqueurs industry in Australia; |
