Wine Australia Directors welcomed by Australian Grape & Wine
On 27 July 2026, the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, the Hon Julie Collins MP, announced the appointment of Darryn Hakof and Stephen Strachan to the Board of Wine Australia, the Australian Government’s statutory authority responsible for research and innovation, marketing and the regulation of Australia’s wine sector.
“We look forward to working with Mr Hakof and Mr Strachan, together with the broader Wine Australia Board, to support a sustainable and profitable future for Australia’s grape and wine sector,” said Helen Strachan, Chair of Australian Grape & Wine.
Australian Grape & Wine also acknowledged the extension of Dr Michele Allan AO’s appointment as Chair of Wine Australia while the process to recruit a permanent Chair is finalised.
“The appointment of a permanent Chair is an important decision for both Wine Australia and the broader industry. We appreciate the government taking the time to ensure the right appointment is made and look forward to working with the successful candidate once that process is complete.”
