About Us

The RSPCA is a non-Government, community based charity which depends solely on donations and support from the public and volunteers. Its primary objectives are to prevent cruelty to animals, lobby to amend or enact new legislation for the protection of animals, educate the community with regard to the humane treatment of animals, and manage homes or shelters for the care, treatment, maintenance and protection of animals.

As it receives very little Government funding, the RSPCA relies on donations and fund raising to support its services - services which cost millions of dollars every year to operate, and every day we need items like bedding, food, toys, towels and much more. So we rely on volunteers and your donations to keep going.

You can either donate to your local Animal Care Centre or to RSPCA Australia. Donations over $2 are tax deductible.
