Why Animal Care Australia

Animal Care Australia was established as an independent 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.

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

🎂 It is our birthday 🎈🎉 Animal Care Australia turns 8 today. 🥂Born in the midst of the failed consultation on proposed changes by the NSW Department of Primary Industries to the Animals in Pet Shops Standards & Guidelines document amending the Protection of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979 (POCTA), members from multiple organisations came together to discuss their concerns over the ever increasing lack of consultation from Government departments and the strengthening of animal rights voices and their influences over our governments. The Pet Shop saga as it became known took high priority, with all parties agreeing more needed to done to stop the DPI proposal and to provide both State and Federal Governments with an organisation that would and could responsibly advocate best welfare practices for all pets in Australia.Within weeks meetings were held, encompassing representatives from animal organisations across a range of species, including, cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rodents, rabbits, horses and more - all agreeing to join together and form Animal Care Australia, with new members joining every month.Today, we are a national animal welfare organisation, recognised across the country by all levels of government.Tomorrow, we will keep doing what we do best.
