The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) is renewing the Australian Animal Welfare Strategy (AAWS), and they want to hear from you.
This renewal is a landmark opportunity to influence Australia's national animal welfare strategy. Together, we can advocate for reforms to align the strategy with contemporary, science-based evidence and community expectations to ensure it works for the animals, not against them.
Why should you lodge a submission?
The AAWS is more than just a policy document, and its renewal will form the foundation of animal welfare in Australia. Its previous iteration expired in 2014, leaving a void that we now have the chance to fill with robust, compassionate, and forward-thinking standards. This important opportunity is a chance to advocate for a fairer system for animals and have your voice heard by those in power.
What will the submission writing workshop cover?
During the workshop, Alliance for Animals Co-Founders, Dr Jed Goodfellow and Dr Bidda Jones will discuss:
the importance of the AAWS renewal and how it can be a vehicle for change,
how we can all use this opportunity to call for the #FairGoForAnimals reform goals,
how to use Alive AI's submission co-pilot to craft a compelling, well-structured submission with ease.
