Become an animal advocate through education and training and help create a kinder world for animals.
By improving people’s understanding of animal behaviour and wellbeing, we’re preventing cruelty and neglect in the long-term and strengthening the human and animal bond.
As the leading animal welfare organisation in NSW, our mission to end animal cruelty extends far beyond rescue and prosecution. We offer both accredited qualifications and short general-interest courses to suit the varying needs and interests of future animal carers. Whether you’re looking to acquire nationally recognised qualifications, or simply interested in learning practical animal care skills, our training courses have you covered.
Furthermore, through our diverse education programs, we’re nurturing communities with the knowledge, empathy, and animal care skills to ensure the continued wellbeing of animals throughout NSW. Our team has created a suite of engaging learning materials, including workshops, games, and presentations designed to build empathy and understanding towards our animal companions. These resources encourage young people to develop a stronger connection to animals and their health, preventing cruelty in the long-term and strengthening the bond with our forever friends.
We believe that education is essential to preventing animal cruelty. Through our wide array of education programs, we teach people of all ages the importance of respecting our animal companions.
Whether you’re looking to acquire nationally recognised qualifications, or simply learn practical animal care skills to better support your forever friend, our training programs have you covered.
As NSW’s leading animal welfare organisation, our work goes beyond enforcing legislation. While current policies have given animals a voice, RSPCA NSW remains committed to strengthening protections for people and animals alike.
RSPCA NSW rehomes a range of different animals, from dogs, cats, and birds to horses, rabbits, and sheep! We believe that all creatures, great and small, can bring joy to our families and homes. Begin your adoption journey today and make an adorable lifelong friend!
By providing temporary homes for our animals, we can ensure they get the care they need until they are ready to be adopted. Join our network of foster carers for an incredibly rewarding experience; with your help, we can change the lives of some of the state’s most vulnerable animals.
We rely on our generous supporters to continue assisting the thousands of animals turning to RSPCA NSW for help. No matter how small your contribution, every gift makes a lifesaving difference for animals in need.
By raising funds and lending a hand to communities and their pets, our volunteers play a pivotal role in our work throughout NSW. If you have a genuine concern for animals and enjoy meeting like-minded people, consider becoming an RSPCA NSW volunteer today!
We promise to uphold the highest ethical standards. Your personal information has never been, and never will be sold or traded to other charities. This is our promise to you.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we live and work. We recognise and respect the enduring relationship they have with their lands and waterways, and particularly acknowledge the vital role animals have played in Indigenous life, stories and culture for tens of thousands of years.
