Leading systemic change for animals.
Millions of animals are suffering because the system is rigged against them — together, we can change that.
A society where respect for the interests of animals and their wellbeing is enshrined in law, policy, and practice.
OUR VISION
We bring together Australia’s leading animal protection organisations – representing more than 2 million people – to increase our collective impact for animals.
WHO WE ARE
Three pathways for systemic change
WHAT WE DO
Building public awareness and support for animal welfare policy reforms
We help increase understanding of the systemic issues affecting animal welfare, the reforms needed to create lasting change, and provide ways for the community to engage with their political representatives.
Uniting the animal welfare sector and increasing its collective impact
We work closely with other animal protection organisations, experts and allies to strengthen and coordinate the representation of animals in public policy and campaign on high-impact issues.
Reforming animal welfare governance and standard-setting systems
We advocate to politicians and governments for stronger animal welfare laws, independent oversight, and fairer decision-making systems across Australia. We monitor and scrutinise government processes, exposing failures, delays, and conflicts of interest that impact animals.
Join the Alliance for Animals in building an independent animal welfare policy system that works for animals, not against them.

EVENTS
The Alliance for Animals commissioned Frontier Economics to develop an independent business case for a National Animal Welfare Commission. The analysis found that establishing the Commission could improve animal welfare governance while generating around $3.5 million in annual savings across Commonwealth and state governments by reducing duplication, streamlining regulatory processes and creating a more efficient national approach to animal welfare policy.
A better system for animals could also save governments millions.
