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.

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.
