Welcome to Animal Welfare League Australia
Caring for the Nation's Animals
Animal welfare organisations have a responsibility to raise awareness of animal welfare issues, promote responsibility towards the welfare of animals and to participate in the development of codes, policies and programs aimed at maintaining high standards of sustainable animal welfare in Australia.
Animal Welfare League Australia is confident that this work can be better delivered through a National organisation: working as a coordinated network to collect and share knowledge; deliver and share best practice programs, such as desexing and microchipping, and as a National body have a stronger voice when educating and informing the public on animal welfare issues.
For just this reason, in spring 2007, the Animal Welfare Leagues of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland, announced the formation of this brand new national organisation.
From this initial announcement we have had an exciting year developing and strengthening our inter-State relationships to reach the all important milestone of our official launch as a national organisation, in September 08.
We now look forward to being able to work with the force of a National organisation and with the enthusiasm and vigour of a fresh, new organisation - pushing the animal welfare agenda forward and helping to save and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of Australian companion animals.
Our Mission
We exist to uphold and promote the welfare of companion animals and to facilitate animal/human relationships.
