Canberra Milk and Sports

Canberra Milk has a long history of supporting local sports teams.

Sponsoring the Brumbies

The company has previously sponsored the Brumbies, which is a professional rugby union team. This support helps the team and connects Canberra Milk with sports fans.

Supporting the Canberra Raiders

Canberra Milk is also a founding sponsor of the Canberra Raiders, a professional rugby league team. This means they were one of the very first companies to support the Raiders when the team started.

Front of Jersey Sponsor

In September 2020, Canberra Milk announced that they would be the main sponsor on the front of the Canberra Raiders' jerseys for the 2021 season. This was a special moment because Canberra Milk had been featured on the Raiders' jerseys before, during the team's successful years between 1993 and 1995.

Changes in Production

In February 2023, the Bega Group, which is connected to Canberra Milk, announced a big change.

Moving Production Facilities

The Bega Group decided to stop making fresh dairy products at its factory in Griffith, Canberra. This factory was previously known as Capitol Chilled Foods. Instead, the production of these dairy products moved to another Bega Group site in Penrith, New South Wales. This change helped the company make its operations more efficient.
