About Us
The RSPCA is a non-government community based animal welfare charity. The
organisation was created by the community and driven by strong local
support. Without public backing the RSPCA would cease to function and
without the services of the RSPCA the future for thousands of animals would
look very bleak indeed.
Vision
- the Five Freedoms
That all animals, great and small, are:
-
Free from hunger and thirst.
-
Free from discomfort.
-
Free from pain, injury and disease.
-
Free to express normal behaviour.
-
Free from fear and distress.
Objectives
The primary objectives of the RSPCA are the prevention of cruelty to
animals and
animal rehabilitation by:
-
Educating the community regarding the humane
treatment and management of animals, and increasing public awareness of and
support of animal welfare;
-
Enforcing the existing laws to prevent cruelty to
animals;
-
Influencing the amendment or development of
legislation and standards considered necessary for the protection and
welfare of animals;
-
Encouraging and providing a sustainable, needs based
network of animal welfare services across the State, for the care, shelter,
treatment, rehabilitation, and protection of animals within the capacity and
strategic directions of the organisation;
-
Providing relief programs to
assist people within the community who are experiencing adverse
circumstances, to enable them to care for or manage their animals.
