DIANZ will no longer be responsible for activities related to members' professional development, and that NZIFST will take over this role. To accommodate this dairy interest group NZIFST has added on an eighth division known as "NZIFST Dairy Division".

The Dairy Division aims to advance and enhance communication within the dairy industry as part of the wider food industry.

This mission will be achieved through the following objectives:

Promoting the advancement of education within the dairy industry through the running of courses, seminars, and conferences and/or providing support and assistance to other professional training providers.

Organising forums for the exchange of information in the form of meetings, conferences, seminars, study tours, etc.

Administering a quality and achievement awards programme.

Providing information for inclusion in publications to promote the dairy industry as an industry of choice for new recruits.

Encouraging the professional development of members of the Division and others within the dairy industry.

Doing such other things as may be considered to enhance the Division and the Institute.
