Australian Animal Welfare Standards

The Australian Animal Welfare Standards are guidelines designed to ensure the humane treatment of animals in various settings, such as farms, research, and transport. These standards outline the responsibilities of caretakers to provide proper care, housing, nutrition, and veterinary attention. They aim to promote animal health and welfare while allowing for industry practices. Compliance with these standards is essential for protecting animals from mistreatment and enhancing their well-being. They reflect community expectations and are supported by legislation to foster accountability and responsible animal management in Australia.
