Australia’s animal welfare system is failing animals.
Cruel practices remain legal, reforms are repeatedly delayed, and animals continue to be sidelined by systems that prioritise industry productivity over their wellbeing.
Together, we can change the broken system.
Animals deserve a fair go.
Australians care about animals. But our laws and political systems often fail to protect them.
The Fair Go for Animals campaign is building support for stronger animal welfare laws, independent oversight, and a system that truly reflects the latest animal welfare science and community expectations.
When you join, you’ll receive campaign updates and opportunities to help push for meaningful reform.
What needs to change?
Independent leadership for animal welfare
Animal welfare decisions should not be controlled by departments with competing priorities.
Stronger and fairer laws
Animal welfare laws should recognise animals as sentient beings and reflect modern science and community expectations.
Independent oversight and accountability
Governments need transparent and independent systems to develop, monitor, and enforce animal welfare protections.
Proper funding and enforcement
Animal welfare protections are meaningless without adequate funding and enforcement.
