Mission: From the website:

The RSPCA is a non-government community based animal welfare charity. The organisation was created by the community and driven by strong local support. Without public backing the RSPCA would cease to function and without the services of the RSPCA the future for thousands of animals would look very bleak indeed.

Vision - The Five Freedoms

That all animals, great and small, are:

 Free from hunger and thirst.
 Free from discomfort.
 Free from pain, injury and disease.
 Free to express normal behaviour.
 Free from fear and distress.

Objectives

The primary objectives of the RSPCA are the prevention of cruelty to animals and
animal rehabilitation by:

 Enforcing existing laws and co-operating with the relevant authorities.
 Preparing submissions for advocating improved legislation.
 Generating and sustaining public opinion throughout Victoria for responsible attitudes towards animals.
 Assisting bodies throughout Australia, and elsewhere, with the prevention of cruelty to animals.
 Providing suitable facilities for animal care, recovery and management.

Values

 Accountability: Preparedness to be held accountable for plans, actions and outcomes.
 Professionalism: Behaviour and standards that set the benchmark for other organisations.
 Integrity: Soundness of judgement and honesty in everything we do.
 Openness: Transparency in our actions, decisions and results to all stakeholders.
 Creativity: Willingness to review current operations and implement new and innovative approaches that assist in achieving our overall objectives.

Victoria's Bushfires

RSPCA Shelters and Inspectors have been working around the clock to provide emergency assistance to animals effected by the bushfires.

What we are doing and how you can help:

If you need emergency assistance, please phone 03 9224 2222.

To directly support our staff and volunteers at the front-line caring for animals affected by the bush fires, please donate at https://wic032p.server-secure.com/vs138364_secure/Default.aspx?ReferredFrom=rspcavic_header or call 03 9224 2222.
100% of funds donated will support our work helping bush fire affected animals.

We are providing free veterinary care to animals in need at RSPCA facilities. We are also offering financial assistance to cover expenses provided by other vets, for treatment of bushfire affected animals. For information about veterinary financial assistance only, phone 03 9224 2251 or 0405 015 794 during 8am - 6pm. For all other enquiries please phone 03 9224 2222.

Our Inspectors are working with various government departments to provide emergency care to wildlife, companion animals and livestock.

We are providing temporary accommodation to animals at our Shelters across Victoria. If your pet needs emergency accommodation - please phone 03 9224 2222.

The RSPCA will be working to reunite lost pets with their families.
Please go to: http://www.rspcavic.org/Forms/BushfireSubmit/Lostpetssubmit.asp to register a pet that you have either lost or found.

If you have the capability to transport and animal that you have found from the bushfires please take it to one of the following RSPCA shelters:

RSPCA Bendigo Shelter
RSPCA Epping Shelter
RSPCA Wangaratta Shelter

We are delivering emergency pet food to relief centres across Victoria including food donated by Hill's Pet Nutrition. If you wish to donate items such as pet food, bedding, leads and bowls you can deliver these to your local RSPCA.

To support our emergency relief effort in other ways, please complete our assistance form at http://www.rspcavic.org/Forms/BushfireSubmitHelp/Helpsubmit.asp detailing the the support you can offer. If we can accept your generous offer, we will contact you soon. Please note that if you are from interstate, you will need to arrange delivery of any items to Victoria.
Thank you to everyone who has offered their residential homes as temporary accommodation. We now have enough private residents to assist us, if needed.

We are in desperate need of blankets, if you can donate any blankets please deliver them to your local RSPCA.

There is a big need for supermarket 'green' bags. We are coordinating care packs and need these to bundle up items to hand out to families in need. If you can donate such items, please deliver them to RSPCA in Burwood East.

We are also in need of temporary fencing. If you are in a position to donate temporary fencing to assist with the management of animals, please contact us directly on 03 9224 2219.
Please note: If you are from the Bendigo area, our RSPCA Bendigo adoption centre has been closed. This will increase our capacity to provide emergency assistance to animals affected by the bushfires.

Updated February 11, 3.25 p.m. Please check this page (http://www.rspcavic.org/campaigns_news/news_bushfires.htm) again soon as more information about our plans and how you can help will be added frequently.
