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.

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.

The Federal Election – who you vote for is crucial!From a political perspective this election result will likely see a 'hung parliament'. This means the major Party that receives more votes will be reliant on the support from the other Parties and Independents or Teals potentially providing an assortment of influences with the ability to control how parliament will be run. The real ‘power’ will go to those smaller parties and independents. Regardless of whether you want to vote for either of the major parties, how you place the parties or preferred Independents (your preferences) will control the seat numbers over the next term. This is dangerous especially when we consider the strength of the parties with animal rights policies.Ensuring the right vote for the ‘others’ is crucial to ensuring your rights to keep, breed and work with pets and animals can be maintained.For more information including the Parties we work well with, go to our website page: www.animalcareaustralia.org.au/federal-election-2025/ And remember – vote for who will support you.Join ACA today: www.animalcareaustralia.org.au/join/You can donate to us here:www.animalcareaustralia.org.au/donate-to-aca/#FederalElection2025 #AustralianElection2025#AnimalCareAustralia #NSWElection #ElectionNSW #EducateNotRegulate #AnimalWelfareIsAnimalCare #WelfareIsNotAboutNumbers #AnimalRightsIsNotAnimalWelfare ...
