SU McCLUSKEY
Su McCluskey is Australia’s inaugural Special Representative for Australian Agriculture. With an increasing focus on more environmentally sustainable production, Ms McCluskey works to promote and demonstrate Australia’s commitment to climate-smart sustainable agriculture, and counter prescriptive policy that could negatively impact Australian agriculture and global food security. Ms McCluskey brings a depth of knowledge to this role, being a cattle producer herself, as well as a Director of LiveCorp, Crawford Fund and the Australasian Pork Research Institute, a member of the CSIRO Food and Agriculture Advisory Group and an ATSE Fellow.
She was most recently a Commissioner for the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). She was also previously the CEO of the Regional Australia Institute and the Council of Rural Research and Development Corporations, and the Executive Director of the Office of Best Practice Regulation. Ms McCluskey has held senior positions with the Business Council of Australia, the National Farmers’ Federation and the Australian Taxation Office.
