Our community volunteer groups play a vital role in supporting animal-loving communities by facilitating our programs, events, education initiatives, and more! Unlike our shelters and adoption centres, our community volunteer groups don’t facilitate animal adoptions. Â
Please note that volunteers do not take part in investigating animal cruelty. To report animal cruelty, you call our animal emergency helpline at 1300 CRUELTY or reach us via phone at 1300 278 3589.Â
Though our volunteers occasionally assist our community outreach teams, we encourage you to contact your nearest branch, supporter group, or community volunteer group to inquire about the services our volunteers can provide.Â
Money raised by our branches, supporter groups, and community volunteer groups is spent on addressing the needs of local animal guardians and their pets. With the endorsement of their members, our branches and supporter groups can also allocate funds to the wider organisation, to be used for events or community outreach programs that promote the improvement of animal welfare.Â
Our branches, supporter groups, and community volunteer groups don’t rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals like our shelters and adoption centres do. They instead raise funds for our organisation and occasionally assist with providing pet owners with community outreach assistance.Â
You don’t need to be an RSPCA NSW financial member to volunteer at one our shelters, branches, supporter groups, or events. Conversely, becoming a volunteer does not automatically make you a member. However, if you wish to join the executive committee at one of our branches or supporter groups (or want to have voting rights within that branch or group), you will need to become an RSPCA NSW Member first.Â
Although volunteers do not receive exclusive discounts or event admission, we frequently offer promotions, special invitations, and discounts to events to all our supporters.Â
Unfortunately, every state runs a different membership program. You will need to reapply to volunteer with a specific RSPCA.Â
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.
