RSPCA WA

To prevent cruelty to animals in Western Australia by actively promoting their care and protection.

RSPCA WA is a not for profit, independent charity dedicated to animal welfare. Our mission is to prevent cruelty to animals in Western Australia by actively promoting their care and protection.

Core activities:

• Inspectorate enforces the Animal Welfare Act by investigating cruelty reports, educating owners, conducting prosecutions and carrying out rescues.

• Education raises community awareness, changes community attitudes, provides resources to schools and conducts animal welfare classes.

• Animal Sheltering entails the care, treatment and accommodation of unwanted and abused animals; then re-homing.

• Government and industry liaison includes advocating legislation, policies and practices that benefit animal welfare. RSPCA WA receives minimal Government funding and relies on community fundraising.

The aspirations of RSPCA WA (Inc.) that extend beyond the period covered by the 2009-2014 Strategic Plan are to:

• have State wide public exposure/engagement/understanding of our mission

• provide State wide inspectorate services – both proactive and reactive

• provide State wide education services
