Ms Treloar made headlines after she took to Facebook to protest increased costs of milk production due to the drought, with a video viewed almost 1.5 million times.
On Wednesday, visited federal Parliament House with lobby group Farmer Power to campaign for a better price for dairy farmers.
Some conversations with senior Liberal and Labor Party MPs, and crossbenchers brought her to tears.
“Every conversation we are having is still a positive step in terms of being able to create a brighter future for the industry,” Ms Treloar said.
Ms Treloar said she supported a floor price because “at the end of the day if it means a better price for farmers, that’s what we want”.
Her efforts also prompted Justice Party Senator Derryn Hinch to write to Agriculture Minister David Littleproud, calling for him to act on a temporary 12-month levy of 10 cents per litre on milk.
Mr Littleproud, who sat down with Ms Treloar, said they had a constructive meeting but pushing for a mandatory minimum price for milk was an outdated stunt.
Labor tried to force a vote requiring the competition watchdog to investigate setting a minimum price on milk but it was voted down.
