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.

Keep your pets calm during storms* Be aware of signs of anxiety - especially if you know your pet is scared of storms.* Try to act as if nothing is happening and be happy and calm to set a good example.* Don’t tie them up or leave them out in the yard. Bring them inside into a ‘safe space’ with their bed.* Turn on soothing music to drown out the noise.* Give them their favourite treat.* Chronic storm phobia sufferers should see a vet or behaviourist for treatment or training options.Have an Grab'n'go kit ready in the event you need to move to safety elsewhere.For more information: www.animalcareaustralia.org.au/pet-information/pets-in-natural-emergencies/Join ACA today: www.animalcareaustralia.org.au/join/You can donate to us here:www.animalcareaustralia.org.au/donate-to-aca/#AnimalCareAustralia #EducateNotRegulate #AnimalWelfareIsAnimalCare #WelfareIsNotAboutNumbers #AnimalRightsIsNotAnimalWelfare #AnimalsMatter #PuttingAnimalsFirst #HumanAnimalBond #PetsAreFamily #CareForAnimals #ResponsiblePetOwnership #ResponsiblePetBuyer ...
