WELCOME TO BIAV
The
Baking Industry Association of Victoria - the peak employer organization for
the manufacturing, wholesale and retail Baking Industry in Victoria.
The
Baking Industry Association of Victoria was incorporated on the 28th May,
1999 following the amalgamation of the Victorian Association of Bakers and
the former Victorian Master Pastrycooks Association.
The
establishment of a united body means that the Baking Industry has the resolve
and representational impact to proactively face the many challenges which
face the industry now and are likely to confront the industry in the future.
The
Baking Industry Association of Victoria is a strong voice to governments and
with increasing membership can only become stronger. As such, members benefit
from open channels of communication with relevant government departments,
such as Australian and New Zealand Food Authority, Australian Taxation Office,
the Victorian Departments of Human Services, State and Regional Development
and the Office of Post-Compulsory Education Training and Employment .
The Baking Industry Association of Victoria's goal is to provide the support and motivation to ensure the success and development of the entire Baking Industry.
