AHSLEA is the national membership body representing the interests of the major exporters of Australian cattle and calf hides, sheep and lamb skins, kangaroo skins, and goat skins. The Association is also a member of the International Council of Hides, Skins and Leather Traders Association (ICHSLTA), which promotes, develops, and protects the international trade in raw hides, skins, and leathers.
State and national legislation, and codes of conduct, strictly regulate and monitor the meat industry in terms of animal welfare and environmental sustainability.
