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!

Let’s bust a common dog myth today! 🐾❌ Myth: Mixed breed dogs are always healthier than purebreds.✅ Fact: Mixed breeds can inherit health issues just like any other dog. At the end of the day, a pup’s health doesn't just come down to whether they're a mixed breed or a purebred. The real game-changer is responsible breeding and proactive health testing. 🩺❤️💬 What kind of pup do you have?

An Advocacy Update: Australian Animal Welfare Strategy Animal Care Australia recently responded to two separate ‘key stakeholder’ consultations for the upcoming Strategy.Our consultation was provided to draft proposal of:➡ Overarching Strategy Statement➡ Companion Animals Chapter – one of six chapters encompassing all animal species.Acknowledging these were drafts and subject to alterations, Animal Care Australia found them to be non-aspirational and really contain very little strategic merit. Our expectations have not yet been met.There will be a public consultation in due course, and when it is released, Animal Care Australia will share the necessary information with everyone.At that point we will also be able to share the recent consultation submissions publicly. Stay tuned ... the process is ongoing. #AnimalCareAustralia #AnimalWelfareIsAnimalCare #AnimalWelfare #AnimalCare #EvidenceBasedPolicy #ResponsiblePetOwnership #EducateNotRegulate #pets #animals #foryoupage #fyp ...
