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.

Here for a part of your life - pet rat:* I am more than just a rat* I am an intelligent, emotionally complex animal * I am not a solo pet. I’m happier in groups with other rats, but don’t mix sexes * Be prepared for vet bills* I don’t need to breed to be happy - really I don’t!* I am not disposable* I am not a toyYou are all of my life!Looking for a new pet? Be a responsible pet owner!When considering a new pet always research the needs of the animal you’re interested in.* Consider the cost – purchase price, ongoing feed, vet care, health needs and more.* Will they be breeding? * How should they be housed? * Does your Council allow them to be kept in your area? Ensure you know the laws and regulations in your state or territory including keeping & breeding codes that may apply to your pet. If you are going to breed them – be a responsible breeder. Remember responsible pet ownership is not just about feeding them. It’s about recognising that you are responsible for them for the rest of their lives. Be a responsible pet owner and enjoy your pets. Make their lives a part of your life!

I keep spiders as pets - why would I join Animal Care Australia?Animal Care Australia can only continue to respond to Government and Local Councils because we represent voters. Yes, we will still represent ALL pet owners regardless, but our strength lies with the number of people we represent.
