Australian Animal Welfare Strategy

The Australian Animal Welfare Strategy is a national plan to ensure animals are treated humanely across the country. It promotes best practices in caring for farm animals, pets, wildlife, and laboratory animals, focusing on preventing cruelty and promoting positive wellbeing. The strategy encourages collaboration among government, industries, and communities to improve standards, enforce laws, and raise public awareness. Its goal is to create a balanced approach that respects both animal welfare and human needs, ensuring animals are protected and cared for appropriately throughout their lives.
