RSPCA Darwin

The work of the RSPCA is guided by the 5 Freedoms for Animals:

1. Freedom from hunger and thirst by ready access to fresh water and a diet that maintains full health and vigor

2. Freedom from discomfort by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area

3. Freedom from pain, injury or disease by prevention through rapid diagnosis and treatment

4. Freedom to express normal behaviour by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animals own kind

5. Freedom from fear and distress by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.

Goals & Visions

The Darwin branch of RSPCA has very limited resources and cannot provide the services available in other states such as an RSPCA Inspectorate system that can enforce the laws against cruelty to animals. RSPCA Darwin aims to protect animals from cruelty by actively promoting their care and protection, and seeks to achieve this mission through the following objectives:

•By providing a shelter for homeless animals where they can receive the best care we can offer
•By keeping abreast of National policies and procedures through active membership of National Council RSPCA Australia
•By providing some education in the community to schools and community groups in the humane treatment of animals
•By participating in community events with a view of promoting the work of RSPCA and raising much needed funds
•By participating as a member of the NT Animal Welfare Advisory Committee
•By representing RSPCA on the Ethical treatment of Animals Committee

The objects and purposes of the Association:

•To protect from cruelty animals of all species by every lawful means;
•To relieve the suffering of animals, whether the suffering is caused by cruelty or otherwise;
•To initiate and promote the passing of legislation protecting animals from cruelty;
•To ensure by lawful means the effective observance and enforcement of current legislation that protects animals;
•To take such steps and do such things as may be necessary or advisable in educating all persons in the community in the care, maintenance, control and treatment with kindness and consideration of all animals; and
•To promote, participate in and sanction animal welfare activities.
•To meet the requirements, privileges and obligations of the Animal Welfare Act (NT).
