Our Mission

Our goal is to keep people and their pets together by empowering and educating communities, enhancing access to veterinary care and improving animal welfare policy, regulation and enforcement.

Our key strategic activities include:

1. Leading the community in preventing cruelty and suffering, embedding animal welfare in everyday actions and delivering quality care in the most appropriate setting.
2. Delivering programs that empower vulnerable Queenslanders to enjoy their animal companions with positive welfare outcomes.
3. Investigating acts of cruelty and enforcing the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001.

We’re striving to enable better wildlife outcomes through wildlife treatment and protection, building community capability, delivering high quality care and positively influencing wildlife policy and legislation.

Our key strategic activities include:

1. Working with all levels of Government advocating for improved policy and resourcing in the protection, rescue, treatment and rehabilitation of native wildlife.
2. Collaborating to optimise wildlife outcomes through building capability of veterinarians, carers and partner organisations, and in the delivery of high-quality services.
3. Activating, educating and empowering community members on wildlife issues and engage new audiences and supporters.
