RSPCA NSW understands the profound bond between pets and people, recognising that financial circumstances alone do not determine one’s ability to love and care for their companion animal. This understanding fosters a stronger community, and we are committed to preventing separations caused by illness, limited access to affordable veterinary care, poverty, and the lack of pet-friendly housing, as often keeping pets and people together is the best outcome for the animals, their owners and the community at large.

As a community volunteer, you will help provide support to those owners and pets in need, gaining valuable animal handling skills and community service experience. RSPCA NSW will ensure that you receive appropriate training and will provide ongoing support for other opportunities within the organisation, if required.
