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!
