Our Impact

As an organisation, RSPCA NSW faced a year full of hurdles, challenges, and changes, but we did not let them slow us down. Despite the obstacles, we remained true to our promise of helping people help animals. Over the past 12 months, we have cared for more than 17,000 animals in need and provided support, advice, and a helping hand to over 200,000 people across the state. Our inspectors covered hundreds of thousands of kilometres investigating animal cruelty, providing guidance to those who needed it, and prosecuting those who inflicted cruelty upon our animal friends.

Our programs team was a safe haven for thousands of people experiencing hardship. From supporting victims of domestic violence to those experiencing homelessness, financial crisis or health challenges, we were often the saving grace for these people and their pets in their hour of need. Helping people help animals is the heart and soul of RSPCA NSW, and we are proud to say that we achieved that day in and day out this year. We continue to make progress every day in our fight against animal cruelty.

This progress, along with every other story featured in this report, was fuelled by the incredible support that animal-lovers in NSW provide us daily. Your support is the reason RSPCA NSW exists, and that is something we never forget, take lightly, and always value.
