About RSPCA Tasmania:

We are the largest Animal Welfare Charity in Tasmania.

We are an autonomous, nongovernment community organisation that has been operating in this state since 1872.

We are governed by an elected Board chosen by RSPCA members at our Annual General Meeting. The Board acts according to our constitution and gives us our policy and strategic focus.

Staff and volunteers ultimately report to the General Manager who is the main conduit between the day-to-day operations of the society and the Board.

The main functions of the Society in Tasmania are:

• to investigate cases of alleged cruelty or neglect
• to operate three Animal Care Centres and a Veterinary Clinic
• to work with all levels of Government to ensure adequate legislation is in place
• to heighten community awareness of animal welfare issues
• to manage a successful and sustainable state-wide business and
• to raise funds to support these functions

While much of the Society’s work deals with companion animals within urban areas, we are also concerned about the treatment of animals used for production of meat, eggs and fibre; for sport and entertainment; for research and experimentation.
