What we do

diagram showing RSPCA WA FunctionsWhen animals are let down by their owners, left helpless, traumatised and alone, they rely on RSPCA WA to step in and give them a second chance at life, love and happiness. 

Since 1892, RSPCA WA has worked tirelessly to prevent animal cruelty. We have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed animals of many kinds and given them a second chance. We have educated the community and lobbied the Government to promote animal welfare and prevent cruelty. 

Our Mission:

To improve the welfare of animals and ensure they are treated with dignity, compassion and respect by providing leadership and quality services in collaboration with our stakeholders.

We do this through:

  • Promoting and enforcing animal welfare legislation and driving legislative change
  • Educating and influencing the community
  • Achieving organisational excellence and delivering best practice animal care.

At RSPCA WA we are dedicated to improving the treatment of animals because we believe it strengthens our society, enhances our lives and contributes to a better world.

We have made great strides towards our vision, but there is still a long way to go.

RSPCA WA would simply not exist without individuals and organisations who share our vision.  We rely on the generosity of animal lovers to contribute around $9 million each year, the majority of what it costs to carry out our animal protection work.

In order to overcome the challenges of increasing demand, rising costs and a vast geographical service area, it is critical that RSPCA WA continue to grow its supporter base.  Through personal donations and gifts, and corporate fundraising initiatives, as well as a calendar of events, we will work to connect with people who want to protect and save Western Australia’s most vulnerable animals.
