Who is ACA?

ACA is a national incorporated association representing the interests of all animal hobbyists. Led by a strong committee composed of representatives for each major animal group – as pictured and outlined above. To find out more about how ACA is representing your favourite animals simply follow the links above.

You can have a voice – ACA has established Animal Advisory Groups for each main species. Individual members and member organisations can request to be included in these groups, so join ACA today and help by having your say!

Why ACA

ACA was established as an independant animal welfare organisation, by uniting experienced animal keepers, carers and breeders. Extreme animal rights and animal liberationist ideologies have been influencing government legislation, regulation and policy development & implementation, without proper consultation, at the expense of you and your animals. We are here to provide a trustworthy, balanced voice – protecting you and your animals.

Latest Issues

Adopt or shop?Whether you adopt or shop for a pet — remember you should be thinking about it staying with you for their lifetime.Pets aren't something you should get on a whim. * take into account their ongoing costs — food, grooming, vet bills, etc * the ease in which they can live with you — do you rent, do you move around for work, do they need a lot attention or a little?* your time availability - are you home a lot or at work or take lots of vacations?* will they fit into your environment — perhaps you have children so extra supervision is required, or the pet will need to be an indoors pet for most of the time?It is easy to say adopt don’t shop — but don’t just adopt because you feel sorry for it or you are pressured into taking it. Ensure that the pet is right for you. Also, if your circumstances change it is okay if you can no longer keep your pet but be responsible with what you do next. * Don’t dump it, ask around to see if someone else can help. * Contact an association for that species to see if they can help. * Contact the breeder, the pet shop or the rescue where you got it from. Think about the best outcome for your pet — not just the easiest one for you.
