Honorary Life Membership
Honorary Life Membership is the highest recognition given by RSPCA Victoria. Awarded by our Board of Directors, Honorary Life Membership acknowledges those individuals who have made a significant contribution to RSPCA Victoria and animal welfare.
Honorary Life Membership was awarded for the first time in 2008, according to new eligibility guidelines and criteria. This new policy extended the criteria to ensure that people who previously may not have been considered for nomination, were eligible.
Eligibility for nomination
- Volunteers in regular ongoing involvement for 20 years or more.
- Individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to improving animal welfare.
- President/Chairperson - 10 years service.
- Board Members - 15 years service.
Please note that achievement of the service eligibility does not automatically qualify someone to receive Honorary Life Membership.
Criteria for considering the nomination for an outstanding contribution by an individual to improve animal welfare may include, amongst other things:
- An individual campaigning for animal welfare changes that achieved the desired outcome, for example, legislative improvements.
- An individual contribution that results in substantial improvement in facilities for animal welfare.
- An individual who has shown leadership in their local community which has positively influenced community views about animal welfare.
- An RSPCA donor who has regularly contributed financially over a period of 20 years or more.
