RSPCA Queensland - Who are we?

At RSPCA Queensland, we’ve been the state’s leading animal welfare charity for nearly 140 years, dedicated to improving the lives of all animals—domestic, farmed, and native. Every year, we care for over 42,000 animals, relying on the generosity of animal lovers like you to fund 96% of our lifesaving services.

We are also the only charity in Queensland with the power to enforce the Animal Care and Protection Act (2001) and investigate animal welfare concerns through our Inspectorate. Our team is on the front line to protect those who can’t speak for themselves.
