Testimonials

"Membership of the Food Media Club Australia means the ability to make a difference and to provide a lasting legacy to this great country. By forming a powerful, influential, unbiased and responsible body, we are able to bring food issues to the fore. One hundred per cent of Australians eat. They deserve to be informed about what they eat, and encouraged to enjoy the freedom of preparing their own food and the community of the table. Moreover, it provides an opportunity within the Club to develop young talent while acknowledging our older members as mentors and innovators, with the wonderful cross-fertilisation this can bring. Our Club is wonderfully ageless."

Lyndey Milan
Consulting Food Director, The Australian Women's Weekly
"My involvement with FMCA has given me a broad network of food contacts as well as forming close friendships with like-minded souls. It has also given me a depth of understanding of the passion of some of the real people of the food publishing and food production industry - this passion to broadcast the love and importance of food education motivated me to focus on broadening children's knowledge and understanding of food."

Mary Atkins
Managing Director, Finding Your Voice
"Membership of FMCA keeps me informed via the newsletter and functions, and it gives one the opportunity to associate with other food professionals who are passionate about their industry. FMCA presents a balance of informative, controversial, interesting and amusing subjects that educate and broaden members' perspectives in a positive way. Over the last 30 years I have been a member of a number of industry and professional associations and I can say FMCA has been the most rewarding in professional and personal terms."

"The thing I most value about belonging to the Food Media Club is the people and their generosity. It's rare to have a group of such professional, knowledgeable and interesting people who are willing to give of their time and talents so generously. Not only to support others in the industry, but to help create a brighter, better, healthier 'food' environment for all Australians."

It also is an effective platform for building awareness of Australia's rich food culture, an area to which I am personally very committed. My active role in the FMCA is time and money well invested."
