Biographical history
The Australian Wool Industry Conference was formed in 1962 as a result of meetings of the Australian Woolgrowers & Graziers Council with the Australian Wool & Meat Producers Federation. In 1966 the Australian Primary Producers Union's Wool Section joined the Conference. It worked closely with the Australian Wool Board, and its successors, the Australian Wool Commission and the Australian Wool Corporation, and the International Wool Secretariat. In 1980 the AWIC was amalgamated with the Wool Council of Australia.

Biographical history
The Australian Wool and Meat Producers' Federation was officially formed on 13 April 1939 as a federally structured body to represent Australia's woolgrowers. It was originally called the Australian Wool Producers' Federation until June 1943 when it was changed to the AWMPF. It maintained the largest membership of federal woolgrowing organisations, consisting of small graziers and sheep farmers. Its two commodity interests, wool and sheep meat, were administered by separate sub-committees. The AWMPF was amalgamated into the National Farmers Federation in 1979.
