ON ANIMAL WELFARE IN VICTORIA
About the RSPCA
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals (Victoria) is a non-government, community
based charity that works to prevent cruelty to
animals and provide vital animal welfare services
throughout Victoria.
We have been working tirelessly to care for and
protect animals since 1871 and in this time we
have become Australia’s leading animal welfare
organisation.
As a not-for-profit organisation, the RSPCA relies
on community support to care for ‘all creatures
great and small’. More than 90% of the RSPCA’s
funding is due to the generous support of the
Victorian community.
Our work
Five Freedoms
SHELTERS
RSPCA Victoria is the trusted advocate for animals
and leads social change so that all animals live
according to the Five Freedoms.
The RSPCA operates animal welfare shelters across
Victoria providing thousands of stray and abandoned
animals each year with a second chance at happiness.
INSPECTORATE
Our team of RSPCA Inspectors works to protect animals
from cruelty, investigate complaints, prosecute offenders
and rescue animals from dangerous situations.
• Freedom from hunger and thirst
• Freedom from discomfort
• Freedom from pain, injury and disease
• Freedom to express normal behaviour
• Freedom from fear and distress.
EDUCATION
“Saving an animal won’t change
the world, but it will surely change
the world for that one animal”
Our staff and volunteers work to influence and educate
members of the community with the aim of preventing
animal cruelty and neglect before it even happens.
CAMPAIGNING
We work continually to harness community support
and advocate for legislation and policy change.
Your generous support will enable the
RSPCA to plan for the future and ensure
that vulnerable animals are cared for and
protected for generations to come.
