RSPCA Qld believes that the most powerful way to change people’s attitudes and behaviours towards animals is through humane education. Humane education is about fostering kindness and respect for animals, people and the environment through empathy. 

Empathy, as research indicates, is a learned behaviour, and we have a range of innovative presentations that explore how and why we should care for all creatures, great and small.

Each year, our humane education team reaches more than 13,000 people through our range of education programs – RSPCA AWARE free education platform for Teachers & Students, school visits, community events, and animal care campus tours. Our hearts swell with pride when students and community members tell us how much fun they’ve had and thank us for opening their eyes to the concerns of all animals.
